Secret Movie Night, Small Biz Wins & “Drunk Email” Customers

From an embargoed screening with secret Star 94 critics to a 200-item order that gave a homegrown Etsy shop a major boost, it’s a reminder of how much buying local can matter. But it’s not all smooth—customer messages get weird, including one unforgettable “I was drunk when I sent that” email moment that you have to hear to believe.
