It’s Labor Day Weekend, I’m James, you’re great, and this is Down the Pipes, a weekly weblog delivered to your inbox. If you’re new here, welcome…it gets a little personal at times (including this week) so posts are only available to subscribers, but subscription is forever comped for everyone who signs up for the free tier below now. Those of you choosing to pay to access this content: thank you. August has been slow (as I warned it would be) but Dodai Stewart said it best: “August is the ‘Sunday’ of summer.” Enjoy the last of the summer filler content, DTP will be off later this week, but will return next Thursday.
