Hey There…

Events can change, because things happen and I’m not perfect…

✅ Mission Complete

Well, the first happy hour is in the books and all I can say is WOW! We sold out the event and the turnout was amazing. Huge thanks to Urban Cowboy for playing host and look forward to bringing this community together at more events in the near future! Appreciate you all and excited to see what else we can cook up together.

Thoughts on a dinner party next, any takers?

🐶 Meet Book

I just got back from a quick road trip down to North Carolina to get our new mascot, Book. Sleep is now a foreign concept to me, blame the typos on him, and send puppy tips 😵‍💫 

Anyone interested in a Catskill Crew Pup Club? If so, send over your favorite dog-friendly spots and let’s see if we can whip something up.

🧑‍🏫 Catskill History Lesson

As we all know by now, I’m a sucker for history and I wanted to share a fantastic lecture by Bill Birns discussing some notable historical highlights from the Catskills. Recommended watching for all!

👏 MERCH-MERCH-MERCH

We have a very limited number of long sleeve shirts left from the first screen print batch we did with the help of our local partner. So if you want one, now is the time!

Grab one before they’re gone

🗣️ Vendors Wanted

Alright friends - the folks over at Slutsky Lumber have a new project up their sleeve and no…it is not another pin up calendar 🤣 at least not yet! They’d like to invite you to their new vintage market @bashakillbazaar in Wurtsboro. There are still a couple booths left, so if you’re interested in becoming a vendor, shoot them a message for more details on Instagram.

😍 Weekly Breakdown

The number of events rolling in is incredible, but for the sake of scalability there is a key question I have for y’all… Do you prefer a more curated list of events or a quantity approach with potential for hundreds of events per week? Thanks for the input.
