The evening included drinks and crab, postcards to send to friends, and a toast from our Head of Writer Relations & Events Sophia Efthimiatou and Co-founder/CTO Jairaj Sethi. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to celebrating more milestones with you all. Photos by Bryon Summers for Substack.

“If my Substack is the open studio I’m hosting, then Notes is the bench or the park in front of the studio where the work of the studio spills out and mingles with the world beyond.
