The City is an Onion
Hi newsletter fans! Whether you’re an avid reader, or you only occasionally fish this out of your fetid spam folder, the eyeballs are always appreciated in this attention economy.
To business. I have one (1) comedy night to promote, a quite personal blog post to share, and a generalised call-out for future pet and house sitting opportunities. Strap yourself in, it’s going to be a rollercoaster ride. And you’ll be rewarded with pictured of a cute dog at the end.
