HEY APW,
Hot damn, was it a long week for everyone else? Or maybe that’s just what happens when you try to squeeze five days of work into four. In any case, as you read this I am on my way to Los Angeles for wedding number two of the year right now. In case you’re counting, that is two more weddings than I normally get to go to each year, and I am stoked. Michael and I have been long overdue for a road trip, so I’m looking forward to spending the rest of the day cruising down the five, listening to Pandora, and trying to decide what I’m going to wear tomorrow. Which reminds me, any Venice natives have recommendations for good eats/things to do/best parts of the beach to hang out on?
And with that, it’s your happy hour, guys. Do your thing.
Cheers,
MADDIE
