What is up, Chicago?! I actually come bearing some really heartbreaking news: this is the last newsletter you’ll receive from me. Today is the last day of my internship program here at Do312. I was almost going to prank you and say I was fired or quitting or something, but it didn’t feel right.

In all seriousness, thank you for trusting me and my recs every Wednesday - Friday these past few weeks. I had a blast and I hope you did too. Keep having fun, keep being awesome, now let’s go out with a bang.
