More of a rec than a bedside table check. My current apartment has good A/C but when I lived in Cambridge, I had a big room on the top floor of a 170 year old house that had A/C but it didn’t work super well, I had no door to my room and all the heat rose to the top of the house to my room so the summer 85 degree Massachusetts nights would be 10 degrees warmer in my room. Putting this fan on my bedside table and aiming it at me while I slept kept me sane in this room for the 4 summers I lived there.
I should have an affiliate link by now I’ve turned so many friends onto this. Cheap lamp from argos that turns your room into warm moody orange paradise
Makes every hotel room feel more warm and inviting. Also, I’m like a baby, I like a night light. Side note, I am definitely a frustrated lighting designer.
I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
Come hang with some PI.FYI folks at Franklin Park in Crown Heights in Brooklyn on 7/19 @ 6:30. riotgrrrl and slowdazzle will be there too! Link is the Partiful invited!
