showers in the dark
Welcome to Ask Roulette, the newsletter. Heading into 2024, we’re back as a regular live show; and I’m getting a jump on my New Year’s resolution to do this newsletter much more regularly.
How does this work? Each newsletter you’ll see one reader’s answer to the previous question. Then you’ll see the question they have for the list, which you can respond to if you’d like. Or you can just read and enjoy.
Previous ask:
What is small but highly pleasurable thing you do that more people should try?
Carl answers:
Shower in the dark. I started doing this recently, and you will experience the full range of human emotions. Terror, calm, confusion, sensory overload and sensory deprivation. You will find yourself singing to yourself, having thoughts you’ve never had before, and you might end up staying in the shower forever. And then, when it’s time to get out, you get the thrill of trying to navigate back to the light switch. Try it!
Carl asks:
What’s your favorite thing about your neighborhood?
If you’d like to answer this question, you can simply hit reply to this email and write it in. Be sure to also include a question that you’d like to submit next. And tell us a story — your answer will be the bulk of the next newsletter. We will only use your first name, but if you wish to answer anonymously, let us know. Or, leave a comment.
Our next live show in NYC is Thursday, December 28th, 7pm. Get your early-bird tickets now.
