• there will be a copy of dipper’s journal available for sale in 2016, which has information in it that we haven’t seen in the show yet. alex is trying to get invisible ink in it.
• “being on the other side of the portal messed ford up in some ways, which we will learn in the next episode on monday” (that’s today)
  
• scrapped episode - a twin convention comes to town and dipper and mabel go and all the twins there are really creepy “like the twins from the shining”

• dipper’s hat was originally going to be red, but alex thought the design looked too much like ash ketchum

• fiddleford is currently hiding in “a very good place to hide, in gravity falls, that is built to survive an end-times scenario” (so probably the bunker)
