Ebby, that truly is outstanding.

Really is.

Indeed, great story. I was sure that you were mistaken about the hotel name because I know the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. I googled it and sure enough there is a Wawona.
I shouldn't have doubted the Vodka Queen.

Absolutely fantastic.  I think this is my favorite preview from this season so far.

That was really nice. Vodka and lemonade mmmm.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it

Asshole. My turn is coming up, and I have to follow that? Fuck.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy
