I’ve known these fellas for 20+ years at this point, so it was a blast to take Hollywood by storm with them this weekend! Alex Gossett and Dallas Gossett have encouraged and inspired me so much over the years and as we enter our forties I feel lucky that we are still cheering each other on.

After considering the horrible possibilities of what a highly-detailed Dead Hand might look like, I’m no longer excited for the #OcarinaofTime remake.
