Hello and hello! So this is the first Diamond Concierge Service for paid subscribers only. Starting in the coming weeks, I’ll be adding some intel from friends and people I like about things they think you should know about, and maybe also some other good stuff like special offers and announcements.
I want to say thank you again to everybody that has paid for a subscription in the last few weeks. Your help and support mean so much and I believe it’s going to help me build this thing into something cool. For those of you that are maybe on the fence about paying, I’m going to try and sweeten the deal by offering 20 percent off subscriptions for the rest of August. If you can swing it, I’d appreciate it. I’ve been steadily pushing out two e-mails a week and my goal is to try and get a third, but that takes time, and time—like mime— is money. So help out if you can.
I was on a boat the other day. I actually spent a good amount of time on boats of varying sizes growing up and I find myself pining to get out in the water. I think in my last life I was probably some dirtbag in the Florida Keys who maybe died on a houseboat or something, so whenever I’m given a chance I take it. My friend Nico texted me and asked if I wanted to go with him and I said “Yes. Yes I do.”
