After six years, Josh Epperson (@josh__epperson) has finished his first book, called Living on the Edge of Time (@edgeoftimebook),
about making choices!

In his new audiobook, Josh argues that distracting times make it easy to have our choices co-opted by others or sabotaged by ourselves. “If we don’t have a philosophy for how we make decisions in our life, we can get swept up into the schemes of others,” says Josh.

“So, I propose a philosophy. Throughout, I use the symbols of a machete, a compass, and a map to illustrate some of the concepts that ground this philosophy about choices,” explains Josh.

Check out the Bandcamp link in our bio to listen to Josh’s audiobook. And give Josh a follow and learn more about Edge of Time @edgeoftimebook.

Fun fact, Josh was on the cover of one of the early issues of Grid mag, titled Thinkers and Doers, back when he co founded Feast RVA!

We couldn’t be more excited to have Lance Lemon

We couldn’t be more excited to have Lance Lemon (@lancelemon) join us as this week’s guest editor of our partner publication, @here.weekly. Here newsletter subscribers, check your email for Lance's special issue of #hereweekly.

As many Richmonders know, Lance has an impressive background as an actor, co-founder of RichWine RVA (@richwinerva), and co-owner of Penny’s Wine Shop (@pennysrva) in Jackson Ward. He double majored in Acting and Studio Art with a focus in cinematography at the University of Virginia. After college, Lance moved to New York to continue his acting career and work in hospitality at places like the eccentric Jean Georges ABC Cocina and Kitchen. He went on to curate, open, and manage two successful wine shops in Brooklyn, all while continuing his growth as an actor. The experience defined his two life passions: acting and wine. And, oh yeah he loves to play a little golf too.

This week, Lance serves up his recommendations for ways to explore and celebrate RVA! For his first tip, he suggests checking out Art of Noise (@artofnoiserva) on Brown's Island on Sunday, September 3rd. He also shouts out Birdhouse Farmers Market (@birdhousefarmersmarket) and the Erin Lunsford (@erinlunsfordmusic) show at Common House (@commonhouserva) on Wednesday, September 6th.

Richmond musician and filmmaker Saw Black (@saw__black) responds to Rich Men North of Richmond singer Oliver Anthony in a newly released song, Leave Richmond To Richmonders (Ain't Enriching Anyone).

“It's a timeless tune, a loaded gun. It's nothing new, you’re not enriching anyone,” sings Black in his rebuttal.

He goes on to sing, “You had decent intentions. Got too big for your britches, got a fancy guitar, but your lyrics need fixin.”

Link in bio to listen to “Leave Richmond To Richmonders.”
