Great end to the year. I very much want “windows are my doors” to be a thing for 2025

As a fan who's read a majority of your work, I think the line "I was a playboy billionaire with a couple of STIs and a DUI. Not a doting father." might be your magnum opus. Happy new year, chip.

thank you for letting us end '24 and begin '25 with belly aching laughter! when I started to read this and laugh my wife (wendy) said you must be reading something written by chip because she could tell by the way I was laughing.....apparently I have a chip laugh which she says sounds genuine and different from my other laughs? she made me read it to her because she likes that I do different voices for the different characters and we agreed this is the funniest story we've read in awhile.....probably since your interview with a vampire. Thank you for your writing and Happy New year!!!

Happy New Year and thank you. "Oh. You think the night life is your ally? But you merely adopted the night life. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see sunlight until I was already a man. By then it was nothing to me but the walk of shame home."

Nightbird! Love it!

Hey, I saw Daybird outside of my window at work: He was bitching about Nightbird having that DPE.

Thank you for this delightful New Years Eve Daycap, Chip.

And I’m going to dig into this tonight… (I’ve lost count how many times I’ve reread your DD, Chip. It just gets more amazing with each reread.)

Wishing you a very happy, healthy, and successful 2025, Chip. Thanks for making every week fun with your ‘Stack & making my 2024 brighter. Please enjoy that Nightlife irresponsibly. 🥳🤗🥳
