Good Morning!
So, it’s been fixed now but for at least 2 weeks, I have put the email as 2025. Its March and I still am mistyping the date… and none of y’all corrected me! 👀
So, since I was an April Fool in March, I’ll spare you the teasing for the day. Anyway, lets hop into this weeks events!
Quick Notes
Dinner Club sold out! 70+ of you signed up and we’ve booked out multiple tables across a variety of restaurants downtown.
Check our Instagram story tonight as we will have the schedule & parking tips if you get lost or have issues — Instagram.
See you lovely folks tonight at the after-party! — wait-list for May here.
VOTE: SNAIL MAIL ✅
I’d been looking to build out some more creative content here at the inbox lately and I stumbled upon a few ideas that inspired me. 📬
Picture This: Postage stamped physical mail (like the old days), wax seal, postcards from Raleigh & local artists, printed zines with local deals, stories & history. Maybe some recipes, stickers, event tickets, handwritten notes, and who knows what else we could fit in!
Stock Photo Above, Real Photos Soon (if you’re interested)
I don’t want to stay dependent on social media and are looking for ideas to get back to basics while still being a community focused business. This feels like one of those ideas… unless y’all tell me otherwise.
Probably quarterly to keep it special with great mail contents every time. One time purchase for each season kinda thing as I am looking to phase out the subscription fatigue (I feel it too folks).
Let me know below your thoughts and I’ll get it started.
Would you be interested?

The Canes sit 2nd in the league but have had a bit of a slip the last few games, with a decent win over Columbus last night to bring them to the 100 point season mark. They trail only the Avalanche at 108 🏒

It’s almost baseball season, as the Durham Bulls returned home last night as opening weekend lasts through Sunday. ⚾
Closing Thoughts
It was a bit slow on the events front this week with the Easter holiday but the month is packed going forward. Maybe take the week to rest a bit and prep for a couple weeks of Spring Weather.
