Daily Email - Wednesday - 04/15/2026

April 15, 2026

It’s Tax Day today. And in case you happened to miss all the reminders and somehow completely forgot until right now, you still have some time to crank it out. I submitted yesterday, and my state returns were rejected. 😕 So, unfortunately, I’ll be logging on before bed to see why. Guess they heard about my matryoshka bootlegging ring (I kid, I kid).

Then, once you’ve filed, you can use your return and celebrate with these plans…

What’s better than sipping on wine and munching on snacks with your friends? Maybe nothing. Join mfk. every Saturday for their Pintxos and Porrons event reminiscent of the streets of San Sebastian. Actually, it does get better, we’re giving away a free Porron. Enter now to drink on us!*
