Secret Stash: Indigenous Humor Explored

Sunday, July 16 at 2:00pm
Alice Rotunda

From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend…The legend of Jud, Defender of the Universe. A mighty artist, loved by good, feared by evil. Cinefile, chanteur, warrior-poet, raconteur, enabler, bon vivant, dramatist, and sporadic user of french. Justin ‘Jud’ Gauthier isn’t really a grown up, he just convincingly portrays one when he needs to. As a Ronin and accomplished pizza-eater, Jud has seen every form of combustion known to man and is reportedly the last of the Meketrex supplicants. Appraised at worth a million in prizes this strider of the boards was recently recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada.
