| 0:00.0 | Hi, Joseph here. This is a brand new live show we performed earlier this year at the Largo and |
| 0:06.6 | Los Angeles, starring Jessica Nicole with Disperition providing live musical accompaniment. I didn't know |
| 0:13.2 | what I was doing exactly when I started on this live script, but in many ways I think I accidentally |
| 0:18.8 | started the possible sequel to Alice isn't dead, in which Alice, Keisha and Tanya travel the country |
| 0:24.8 | in an RV and solve mysteries, Scooby Doo style. It's a much lighter story, and one I may |
| 0:32.7 | someday end up telling who knows. In the meantime, enjoy Jessica and Disperition performing just |
| 0:37.6 | a little bit of that story to you live from Los Angeles. |
| 0:55.5 | To catch you up, um, shit. Okay. I went looking for my wife, Alice, who I thought was dead. |
| 1:14.0 | She wasn't dead. Years past we encountered monsters and alternate dimensions, and I think I hung out |
| 1:24.0 | with a ghost once. Then Alice and I, we came home. That's basically the story, short version, |

| 1:53.5 | is home, and then you finally reach that long awaited homecoming only to find that the miles have |
| 2:00.0 | gotten into your blood. When your body thrums with movement and stays still, feels like clothes that |
| 2:07.1 | don't quite fit, the whole rest of your life becomes an attempt to balance these two dissatisfactions. |
| 2:15.9 | It's great to be human sometimes. So Alice and I, we decided to go on a road trip. |
| 2:23.8 | This time we wouldn't be on any sort of mission to do anything. We could just wander, |
| 2:30.8 | or that was the plan. Plants, right? We met up with Tanya. We loved Tanya and didn't want to fall |
| 2:41.1 | out of touch with them just because we were no longer in a secret underground organization to |
| 2:45.5 | gather fight for our lives. You know how it can be after that? A few texts, some email, and then you see |
| 2:52.9 | a person on Facebook and realized you had bought them in years and we did not want that. So, we bought |
| 2:59.3 | ourselves an RV, and off we went. It's a couple of hours south of Palm Springs, Easter Broly out |
