hey if we started doing more specific niche newsletters in the new year—and made it easy to only subscribe to the ones you *wanted* to get—would that be a thing you’d want us to do?

As a Navy brat and a gardener I have powerful Opinions about last week’s Normal Gossip episode (the one about the tulips). The protagonists get off way too easy!

I accidentally third wheeled my priest and her husband on a date to see BLADE RUNNER
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.
