NINE: today is the anniversary of when i first arrived in town.

from shoreline to woodinville to west seattle to the central district to mount baker to othello to lake city.

from broVo spirits to skylark cafe sound to lyft driving to high dive sound to puget sound puppers to playnetwork to snorkel hot tubs to hazy bay to amazon to century ballroom sound to larj media to vcv entertainment to live oak to washington athletic club. plus a helluva lot of freelance/independent production.

from gibraltar to wild english to brunch time ballers to bad saint to pilot cloud to devils hunt me down to craig jaffe to skates to rockndoc & the backbones to indigo seed to high romantics.

from zoloft to pristiq back to zoloft to wellbutrin to zoloft yet again to cymbalta & abilify.

to getting sober from alcohol and leaving my roaring 20s behind me. to smashing myself enough times until i finally feel whole.

so here’s to nine years of letting everything happen; the beauty and the terror.

i’m now a month into the new gig at Washington Athletic Club as their AV specialist + assistant banquet manager for meetings/events. absorbing so much onboarding like a sponge, i’m grateful for the team i’ve joined; inching closer to that elusive work/life balance.

plus- who would have thought suits would become such a regular part of my wardrobe now?

yours in hospitality. yours in community. yours in solidarity. stay safe out there, y’all.

summer refresh, checking in 🖤

still moving and shaking behind the scenes of my own life, but Pizzacat is another year older today — 14! 😻🥳🫶🏻

checking in here to wish y’all a belated Happy New Year, as well as an early Happy Lunar New Year (it’s the year of the Dragon, for those playing at home)

so what’s new?

*since i last posted i’ve grown into a new role with Live Oak as their Assistant Director of AV Hospitality, based out of the Marriott hotel in SeaTac. yes, i still have been working live events, though now some of my new responsibilities lie in the administrative side too

*still continuing to seek out the occasional hustle project, this new year has also seen me return to audiobook production. i’m leading the charge with Emily Cherkin—aka “The Screentime Consultant”—on her new book entitled “The Screentime Solution”

*lastly, and more of an earnest ask, i’m kicking around ideas for a new musical endeavor if any folks on the TL want to reach out? my mental health and covid-caution continue to be uphill challenges, though i have some ideas for what i want to accomplish in this new landscape of independent music and live performance; maybe this includes you?

until next time (whenever that is)

SEASON3 FINALE

yes, i’m taking my annual break from these Lucky Butcher accounts a little earlier than usual. the time has come for me to and work on winding down this year + setting up the next

there’s still plenty of work to do behind the scenes of the Butcherverse and i’m choosing to do it offline

so have yourself a safe and happy holiday season and i’ll see you next year!

greetings on this sunday funday, where Pizza wore himself out reading all your responses to our ask for input 😹

while he’s been snoozing, i’ve been updating some of those top choices y’all made—plus one design i wasn’t ready to give up on yet…

thank you all so much again for chiming in with your two cents; i’m gonna keep evolving these!

pizzacat + i wanted to show off some new designs we’ve been working on, and ask which ones you like best! am i a clean-cut and well-metered butcher, or one that’s a little chaotic and rough around the edges?

the process is to start with lettering in black & white, narrow it down from there, then add specific elements like color etc.

comment your fave(s) and thanks in advance for your input!

a lucky butcher is a fortunate, grateful, and privileged butcher.
