I'm sure you've seen the Kickstarter for the Rick and Morty Butter Bot and so I reached out to Albert Gajšak, CEO of Circuit Mess, to chat about his purpose and how Circuit Mess and Geek Club are focused on success.

Hey everyone! This is Brandon for Apathetic Enthusiasm and Interdimensional RSS. I wanted to let you know that we’ll be taking a hiatus for some undetermined amount of time. Maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe a year, but whatever time, not forever. 

The reason I’m giving you this message and not Travis is because he’s spending precious time with his wonderful family. They recently found out that his oldest daughter, Allie, was diagnosed with Precursor B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 

So to relieve him from the pressure of making him record all the time, because I’m definitely the one making him do this all the time, we’re going to take a little break. I may push out some content on my own, he may drop in, but it’s important for me to support him and his family (and to keep him off of this microphone for a minute)

If you want to support his daughter Allie and Travis’ family, there is a gofundme set up. There’ll be a link in the show notes, but you can also google Allie Menard. She’s the top search result there, and it’s for a good reason. She is an amazing kid and she has an amazing family.

There’s also an Allie needing money for court fines… that is a different Allie.

On behalf of Travis and his family, thanks for all your, positive thoughts, prayers, and support!
