Hey {{ Name | there }}!
🚨 I send two emails a week — Tuesday AND Thursday — but sometimes Gmail throws Thursday’s edition in the Promotions tab 🚨
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 to the fun!
This week’s giving something for everyone — and we love to see it.
We’ve got a VERY queer Tuesday night, chances to catch new talent before anyone else at some truly stacked open decks, and even a custom earplug pop-up — because protecting your ears is just as hot as protecting your energy.
Feeling bold? There’s a dance class with your name on it.
Feeling curious? Step into something new.
Whatever your vibe, NYC’s got an open door and a bassline waiting.
