Hi [y’all](https://youtu.be/myjC2BrtPoE?si=VBHv1Hz4skkra4Xe&t=819&ref=joeyplunkett.com),

- This is a late night edition of the newsletter. I sat down to write it at 11 pm with [The Bizarro Jerry](https://youtu.be/GTUbh1nuQ-Q?si=QvaFeb3NvVSy3mAf&ref=joeyplunkett.com) episode of Seinfeld on in the background, in between bottle feeds for our newborn. She’s sleeping now, but she’s an alarm clock that could go off at any moment. I’m giving myself 30 minutes on the clock (seems a safe bet) to get this thing done - we’ll see if the quality dips. You’re the judge.
- One thing I’ve loved about this newsletter is getting email responses back from friends after reading it, either commenting on something in that week’s issue or simply checking in. I’d love for that to continue, and for those who have already sent one - thanks.
- Since moving out of Denver and landing in Louisville (a small town just outside of Boulder), my morning walks look pretty different. One section runs through a large prairie / nature preserve that sits between a few parks and a river path. Choosing which route to take through its single track is a fun little detour our dog Nora and I navigate each day, and - as we’re coming up on a year living here - I’ve now seen it in almost every season. Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of these deep black caterpillars scurrying across the paths, frequently enough that I had to look it up. Turns out there’s a lovely bit of folklore behind this little fella. It’s the [Woolly Bear caterpillar](https://www.almanac.com/woolly-bear-caterpillars-and-weather-prediction?ref=joeyplunkett.com), and it often isn’t all black but has a band of brown in the middle. The lore is that the brown band predicts the winter - the more brown, the milder. All black, like the ones I’ve been seeing, means a severe one. Hopefully that means I’ll get to dust off my snowboard soon.
- Speaking of skiing and snowboarding, I recently found the best way to hang up equipment. How to store ski gear has always been a bit of an open question for me - I’ve tried a lot of different systems and never found one I loved. I installed these [Gravity Grabbers](https://www.gravitygrabber.com/products/gravity-grabber-cyan?ref=joeyplunkett.com) in the garage and have been really happy with them.
- The music rec this week is a little different: I’m recommending that you do yourself a favor and spend some time on [Bandcamp](https://bandcamp.com/?ref=joeyplunkett.com). If you’re not familiar, it lets artists release music directly to fans, post announcements, and sell merch, in a way that makes them discoverable to new listeners. It’s been around a while, and I - admittedly - go in waves of mining it for new music. I’ve been on there for 14 years at this point, so I’ve built up a library that mostly lives there, and it’s fun to go listen to it like an alternate catalog. Finding a band you like on Bandcamp feels different than elsewhere - it’s much more like crate digging for old vinyl, whereas finding something on streaming feels like hearing it on the radio. I have bands I found there that I’ve never had a conversation with a friend about but love and go back to all the time. One of those is the (slightly contradictory) Midwest emo band [SPORT](https://sport.bandcamp.com/?ref=joeyplunkett.com), from Lyon, France. Theirs was one of the first records I bought when I made my account, and to this day it’s the only place I’ve ever found them. They sound a bit like the best combination of [Cap’n Jazz](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOjWEae%5FeRU&ref=joeyplunkett.com) \- the proto band that was the fertile ground American Football sprang from - and [American Football](https://youtu.be/%5FNfnXdXpjL0?si=d4EudhlUg-GMWti1&ref=joeyplunkett.com) itself. I’ve been blasting SPORT’s “[Old Town](https://sport.bandcamp.com/track/old-town?ref=joeyplunkett.com)” on repeat recently and just went back to [their live set here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3tz%5Fhx4uU8&ref=joeyplunkett.com).
- And done! Baby is still asleep - we made it folks. Our treat is an incredible and short Youtube video. [Enjoy](https://youtu.be/5-hS2r7v3Iw?si=5QgPIUv6%5FBd9ZR-W&ref=joeyplunkett.com).
