Good Morning North State!
I really wish I could start this newsletter off by saying “May the 4th be with you”, but to be honest I’ve never seen a single Star Wars movie. I know, i know. Lately I’ve been making my way through my Letterboxd watchlist, so eventually I’ll get to it. I just don’t know if I wanna start with the originals first, or jump right into the sequels. Let me know North State!
Have a beautiful Monday, and I hope to see you out there.
