It used to be chopped cheese but I had one the other night and it made me feel ill for some reason. I’ve graduated to a spicy chicken cutlet on a roll with lettuce, tomato, chipotle mayo & banana peppers.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

My favorite manga I’ve ever read. Last summer I pulled an all-nighter and binged the entire thing in one go. Such a brutal read. Love exists in many forms and the way the manga explores this concept is so so stellar. Definitely a big inspo for me and a must read in my eyes. Whether you like shonen or not, it's undeniably great.

Me and my friend Luke from Wavedash played a lot of Pokemon Nuzlocke runs in the green room on tour. A Nuzlocke run is essentially just a custom ruleset intended to make the pokemon game series harder. You can alter the code of your game file, using a ROM hack on your computer, and you can make it so every single encounter with a pokemon is completely randomized. So you might be just starting the run leaving littleroot town or whatever and you might see a Rayquaza or something as one of the first pokemon you encounter. Every pokemon is randomized so even like other trainer battles you have no idea what you’re up against. And there’s a bunch of house rules that you follow while playing so like whenever your pokemon faints in battle, you can’t use them anymore so they’re essentially dead for good hahaha. Super good way to pass the time.

I was on Discord the other night on call with my friends and we were really bored so Luke shared his screen and we did this fanmade tournament bracket style Drake song ranking thing. It would pit two songs against each other and then you choose which one you think is better and whichever one you pick moves on to the next round and then eventually once you get through all of the first round match-ups, all of the songs you picked in the first round get paired up randomly and pit against each other in the second round and you pick again. And this goes on until there’s only 2 left and then I guess you’re supposed to be left with “the ultimate best Drake song”. Anyway, I realized how much I love Scorpion even though it got completely shit on when it came out. Definitely think it’s over-hated, but it rules. The song that ended up winning our bracket was “Headlines” which makes sense. I think his best album is still “Take Care,” “NWTS” being a close second. We’ve been playing a bunch of these bracket challenges for other stuff like movies, fast food, and other music stuff since then. It’s really addicting.
