#110: Today is my birthday
I am now out of the 18-34 demographic!
It’s the Frank Thomas year!
My theme for 34 was “Compete”. This year, it’s “Big Hits Only”.
As an elder Millenial Chicagoan celebrating a birthday, you already know what time it is
CULTURE THING:
This weekend, watch the Plug Tunnin’ channel over on Locally Grown TV.
Here’s today/tomorrow’s schedule:
MUSIC THING:
The Original No Limit Records Logo a.k.a The Greatest Brand Logo of All-Time.
Hope you all enjoyed this week’s newsletter swap!
In case you missed it, here’s Dan Runcie’s piece in Wednesday’s Office Hours and here’s my piece on the immortal No Limit Records from Wednesday’s Trapital newsletter.
I think everyone should have a master playlist. Here’s mine. This might be the best way to understand who I am as a person, now that I think about it.
678 hours of what my brain sounds like. If you put it on shuffle, you can go 3 days straight without hearing a repeat song.
SIX EASY STEPS TO HELP BLACK LIVES:
Carve out 30 minutes in your calendar this week. Do it now!
Click a link and make a call or donate or sign a petition.
This weekend, share the link with your three closest friends and say, “Hey, I’m (calling/donating/signing a petition). If you’re interested, here’s the link!” If you have a group chat, drop it into your group chat!

Repeat the following week.
Do it while you online shop or while you take a shit, whatever it takes! It is truly the absolute least that you can do!
