Today is the day! We saw @HDTGM in July, and although the onesie does not really fit anymore, Claire is still the Jason of our group. Below, a thread on bringing a baby to a live taping 1/ https://open.spotify.com/episode/1j0eM7EeuK1NfI1xlvZur7?si=oo_nCVLXQ-aVSO6E7s3WMA&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A7imJ7yoSPaYJGZtxH1EFve

It was almost 10 months ago but it feels like a lifetime ago for so many reasons. Here is Claire with our favourite podcast hosts 2/

Claire was a month old. One month!! We were those people. A few tips to help parents bring your baby to a live show in the future 3/

Try to get seats on the aisle. It was easier for me to sneak out without interrupting others.
Call the venue ahead of time and see if there is a place to leave your stroller. 4/

Do a couple of dress rehearsals. We saw @nickkroll two days earlier and I used a wrap. It was around 28C/80F and we were just too hot in the theatre. The next night we sat at home with a nursing pillow for her to lay on my lap, cooler for both of us. 5/

Practice using the baby headphones of your choice so you don’t panic when in public. 6/

Have fun and be patient with yourself. I was worried how it would go. June’s words to me during the taping stuck by my side for many months, ‘Mothers are awesome’. 7/

I wish there was a way to listen to the whole unedited taping because I loved when Jason first saw Claire in the audience and the other versions of second opinion songs. 8/

Thank you to June, Tall John, and Jason for being such funny, talented folks. Claire can’t wait to see you again! End thread/
