Hello, Lit Hubbers. It’s been a while. But the spring sun has put this staffer in a joy-lifting mood once again.
What’s been making us happy recently? Earlier this month, Molly Odintz enjoyed the Austin Psych Fest, which brought a bunch of indie rock icons and shoegazers to her hometown.
And this week, Drew Broussard went analog. Our podcasts editor has been seeing horror movies, in the theater, with friends—and he is glad to report this activity is as fun in adulthood as it was during middle school. Says Drew: “There’s something so downright joyful to the communal scare, the shared laughter, the real ‘bodies in space, together’ vibes.” No one asked, but I cosign.
Recent Broussardian freaky Fridays include Exit 8 (“fine, weirdly conservative”), Hokum (“absolutely delightfully nerve-shredding, love an olde witch”), and Psycho (“yes that one!”). Fun fact: Drew caught the classic with his author friend Leah Rowan, to celebrate her new book, Marion!
Jonny Diamond is looking up with awe. “Now’s the time of year when the Canada Geese fly really low over our house on the way to finding the Hudson River, which is their route north,” our editor says.
