When in New York: find an iconic, intimate basement venue and listen to beautiful, transcendent jazz with your uncle who happens to also been in town. Lovely evening.

I can’t believe we’re doing demo day rehearsals already. It seems like yesterday that we were doing finalist interviews in this space. And what a genuinely lovely community of people we pulled together. This will always be one of the things I’m proudest of doing in my life.

Spending the day celebrating my aunt Ricky, with our family, in all of our favorite place in the world. This photo is from a few years ago, with all three siblings, hanging out in LA.

Sibling flight. @banjahanja is very proud of her sandwich because it incorporates two out of the four different tomato varietals from her garden. Their names are Marisa Tomeito and Tomato Petty. (Too soon?)

Not going to lie: it was super-weird to be a observer to the Matter alumni panel. I felt all the feels.
