Dear Friends,
I’m excited to share two fall events, and I’d love to see you at one or both.
***9/27/25: allgoodnoworries Book Release Party at Pickledilly in Skokie, 5–8 p.m. (all ages)***
To celebrate the release of my pickleball essay collection, allgoodnoworries: Essays on Presence, Play, and the Power of Pickleball, I’m hosting a party on Saturday, September 27, at Pickledilly, a pickleball club in Skokie.
Everyone is welcome, whether or not you play pickleball. We’ll have three courts open for play, along with complimentary food and soft drinks on hand. The event is free, but please RSVP so I can plan accordingly.
I’ll have copies of the book available for purchase, or you can buy it now through Amazon or directly from me.

***10/23/25: Young Man in a Hurry Live Concert and Listening Party at Judson & Moore in Chicago, 8 p.m. (21+)***
Last spring, Young Man in a Hurry released an experimental electro-pop album called PAY ATTENTION PAY ATTENTION. This fall, we’re following it with two alternate versions: PAPA DEMOS and PAPA AKIYO. To celebrate, we’re hosting a combined live concert and listening party at Judson & Moore, a beautiful new venue in Chicago. This event has a cover charge (TBD) and is 21 and over.
PAPA DEMOS is unpolished and immediate. PAPA AKIYO explores what happens when you break the frame and rebuild from zero. This double album invites listeners into two parallel worlds: one grounded in raw intimacy, the other alive with possibility.
Stay tuned for streaming links and some creative merch we’re excited to share.
