CHAIR TALK — MEMBERS VOUCHING

OVERHEARD IN THE MIRROR.

I've moved twice. I still drive back for Dee.

MEMBER Nº 0087

My kid thinks Rae is famous. Honestly, same.

MEMBER Nº 0412

The towel alone is worth the standing tier.

MEMBER Nº 0009

Marcus fixed a haircut I got in another city. Didn't even gloat. Much.

MEMBER Nº 0141

I schedule work travel around Kofi. My manager knows.

MEMBER Nº 0233

Espresso, side B, forty minutes. Cheaper than therapy, same haircut.

MEMBER Nº 0350

COME FOR THE CUT. STAY FOR SIDE B.
