🎧 Shoutout to Pat Clark
Pat’s our DJ and slideshow king — and he’s doing this out of friendship (and because I built him Clarkaraoke.com). If you’re enjoying the vibe, consider tipping him!
💸 Tip the DJ on Venmo🎁 What to Gift Bryan
- Tequila: He’s been making Ranch Water — Espolòn Blanco is a win.
- D&D Dice Sets: He’ll love a cool new set.
- Gift Cards: Trader Joe’s, Amazon, QFC, or favorite local spots like Sunny Hill or Tub Subs.
But honestly? Just bring yourself. Your presence is the best present. 💖
