Happiest of Mondays my friend!
Quick question, with all this time on my hand, I’ve had a couple ideas that I want to run past you and see if any sound interesting to you.
some sort of podcast
This email provides plenty of interesting & unique shit to discuss, plus we have access to a pretty dynamic community
some sort of “meet the community” series
This email goes out to some incredible people, that are working on some amazing project and have shit-loads of talent - want to get to know them?
some sort of digital hangout/video conference
We all bored, might as well be bored together.
If any of these pop out at you, LET ME KNOW NOW!
See you tomorrow!

Yes, these are scary, trying, difficult times, and they are likely to get worse before they get better. But as we shake our heads at some bit of reckless behavior featured on the news, or we throw up our hands in despair wondering how our company can make a difference, take a page from Rebecca Solnit’s book, and the lessons of Hancock Bank, and look for ways for you and your colleagues to do something to make things a little better.
1000% agree.
This collection of activities for kids from the greatest art institutions in the world.
This has resources from The Louvre, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Smithsonian… a REALLY GOOD resource for us parents looking to fill our kids days with productive time.
Speaking of the greatest art institutions in the world…
Here are the best digital initiatives to feed your need for art
This eerie skate video that takes place in a deserted downtown L.A.
This video is more than 5 years old, but you can imagine why it’s making it’s way round the internet again.
Also, skateboarding is still the fucking coolest - the skill, the music, the diversity, the presentation.
This dude’s nunchuck skills
Let’s all pitch in, and buy this L.A. house.
You in?
Virtual replacement races are drawing stars — and tons of eyeballs
These days, I’ll take my “sports” however I can get them.
This office gives my eye a boner
If this was my office, I could just picture myself, forearm leaning on the glass, staring off into the distance, pondering THE SHIT out of something important.
Listen to this fellow #CoolShit readers “If I Could Love Her (Remix)”
Mr. Givens raps with a passion, tenacity, and clarity that I haven’t heard in a long time. Enjoy!
