Dear all—

I hope this finds you in good spirits and enjoying the dramatic change in the weather!

Soup. Gloves. Ominous clouds. Snow in the distance. Snow in your face. It’s a great time to be alive, and to not be Kanye West.

I’m sneaking my way into your inbox with a quick update on the newsletter: We’re off to the races next week, with our first installment of Big Sky Chat House!

I can’t wait to share the first batch of interviews with you: we’ll dive into the politics of psychedelic drug reform in the 2023 Legislature with a (debatably) shocking advocate, explore the pros and cons of bucking the status quo with Missoula City Council’s firebrand progressive, celebrate the wonder of gorgeous gold leaf-laden landscape paintings, and more.

The first installment drops Wednesday morning. In the meantime, please enjoy this infectious tune from Bozeman’s pop-punk aficionados The Love Darts. Yes, I too want to be the singer of the Flaming Lips.

xoxo
