When I’m not at my 9 to 5, you can find me working on my Substack, Unsubscribing, an essay series where I get vulnerable with strangers on the internet.



“Drowning in a Crowd of Hot People”
from Unsubscribing



Last Friday, upon entering a new bar in Bushwick, I found myself delighted to discover it was filled to the brim with people I considered particularly attractive.

One survey of the plant-filled, wood-paneled space, and I couldn’t help but feel invigorated by the evening’s new potential. I was surrounded by a rare and impressive quantity of the aesthetically blessed. 

“It would be a waste not to talk to at least three people,” I told my friends, and they agreed. 

After one-and-a-half gin martinis (and a few glasses of wine from the previous bar), we considered our courage at a high enough level to begin our work. We performed the standard two laps around the bar to the beat of Fleetwood Mac, and before we could even strategize our next move, one of us had broken off. 

I looked around my shoulder to see her in the center of a group of approximately five guys. Tall ones. I miss the introduction, but quickly get pulled into conversation with a real 6’3+ footer that went something like …

“Where do you live?”

“The East Village. What about you?”
“Oh nice! I’m in Williamsburg.”

“Nice.”

“What do you do?”

“Sorry, what?”

“What?

“Sorry, it’s so loud.”

“What do you do?”

And then I have to tell them I’m a copywriter, and they don’t know what that is anyway.
