$100 Day
In addition to a handcrafted thank you note, our SXSW guests sent a check totaling $100 for our hospitality. It was very sweet, if a bit too kind.
Rather than squirrel away their generosity, I’d like to use the money for more debauchery. Anyone who’d like to help should come over around 7pm tonight. We’ll sit down over a drink and decide how to best spend a hundred bucks. Then...
This just changed my life.
