Mornin’!

LBI Lowdown is turning 1! We sent our first newsletter out to 154 people on 9/22/23. It’s wild to think that we’ve grown to just under 9,000 subscribers in one year’s time… thank you for being part of it.

To celebrate, we’ve partnered with the super-talented Kerry from LongLine Design Co. to create us some custom LBI-inspired merch. We’ve included previews of the design below (and we’ll have a variety of color options).

If you’re interested in snagging some once we print, please take a minute to fill out this 2-question form. This will help us in managing our inventory AND will also get you access to early-bird pricing!

P.S. We’ve also updated the “Eat & Drink” section of the newsletter to include off-season happy hour and football specials. Scroll to the bottom of the newsletter to find that.

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
