Hey {{ Name | there }}!
🚨 The algorithm is trying to ruin your weekend. Here’s how to fight back. 🚨
A bunch of you have been emailing to ask, “Where’s the weekend email?”
👀 Babe, I send two emails a week — Tuesday AND Thursday — but sometimes Gmail throws Thursday’s edition in the Promotions tab, and we cannot have that.
Here’s how to fix it (takes 10 seconds):
Add this email address to your contacts - just hover over my email address at the top of this message and when the pop-up shows up hit the + with the person icon in the top right and “Add to contacts”.
Now, onto the good stuff…
If you’re lucky enough to be staying in NYC this Thanksgiving, Wednesday night is the main event. The city is going off — and not just with grocery lines and stuffing prep.
This week has live bands, legendary selectors, and welcoming dance floors across the boroughs.
Whether you’re sweating it out at a packed club or catching a vibey live set with friends, this week is stacked with things to be thankful for — especially if what you’re thankful for is basslines and good lighting.
