Kestrin is a rock cellist who has appeared onstage alongside Weezer, Beck and Brandi Carlile. She also invented, built and captained a legendary glam RV which she and Disney imagineers outfitted as a rave cave karaoke studio. She's written, directed and starred in feature films. She plays with David Wain and Ken Marino's Middle Aged Dad Jam Band. She lived in Taiwan for a while and speaks fluent Mandarin. There's more to say about Kestrin than any single episode of a podcast can possibly cover, but we get to as much as we can.

Kestrin and her work can be be found here.

The Middle Aged Dad Jam Band can be found here.

Plus, Trish's favorite thing this week is West Coast Swing dance classes. Wanna get dancing, too? Her favorite places to take lessons in LA are with Tip & Teveya and at Motivo.

This week’s cocktail or mocktail – THE DIRECTOR'S CUT:

1 oz gin (for mocktail, use 2 oz tonic water. We loved Fever Tree's elderberry tonic water in this concoction.)
½ oz Cointreau (for mocktail, use a few dashes of orange bitters)
½ oz Suze Aperitif (for mocktail, use white grape juice)
1 oz preserved lemon juice (Radical Radish's Chef Nina's recipe here!)

Shake all ingredients over ice and serve strained into a chilled glass. Use preserved lemon as a garnish.
