Heyyyyy LA. Faye here from DoSD – your temporary DoLA newsletter correspondent while Brady is off at Lightning in a Bottle somewhere, probably wearing mesh and having the time of his life…whateverrrrrrr! 

For context, Brady is very “warehouse rave at 2am,” while I’m more “sunset concert that accidentally becomes a healing experience.” Different fonts, same document.

Anyway, for reasons still unclear, he handed me the DoLA newsletter keys before leaving town. Huge mistake? Maybe. Beautiful act of trust between coworkers? Also maybe. But honestly, I’m excited to be here. This feels like when sitcoms do crossover episodes, and the audience either LOVES it or gets deeply confused for 22 minutes.

OKAY - Enough about our little Freaky Friday work exchange – let’s get into the important stuff. We’re sending one of you to see Matt Maeson’s Watch My Step Tour at The Observatory on 5/27. Enter to win a pair of tickets.*

JUST ANNOUNCED
