Back by popular demand and honestly, long overdue. You’re invited to a private holiday shopping night at Pop Local, and I’d love for you to come through. Expect a little glamour (yes, tiaras), a little warmth (bourbon + champagne), good food, and the rare joy of shopping without the crowds. Heavy hors d’oeuvres, good people, and space to actually breathe while you browse. But more than that, this year it matters. Local shops like Pop Local aren’t just stores. They’re dreams with a front door. They’re neighbors betting on themselves. And no one embodies that heart more than Jess Chan, who has built Pop Local into a beautiful home for more than 200 small makers and creators. When you shop here, you’re keeping those dreams alive. You’re putting money back into our community. You’re choosing people over algorithms. So come celebrate the season with us. Dress up if you want, sip something delicious, laugh a little, and knock out your holiday list while supporting someone who truly pours her soul into this city. Details December 8th 6:00–8:00 PM Pop Local 111 Grant St, Vancouver, WA 98660 https://www.poplocalvancouver.com/ Can’t wait to see you there. Let’s make it a night. Let me know if you plan to attend 360-903-8173

For those that don’t have to work- enjoy! For those who do have to work- thank you! May everyone have a blessed rest of the week!!

Fam... a quick thing. A bunch of you are already on the monthly walk list, but for any homeboys who want in, tap in. (Ladies, I did have a co-ed walk going; it just never hit critical mass. If someone wants to help me bring that back, I’m all in.) Back to the program… If you want to get added to the monthly Vancouver or Portland men’s walk (or both), shoot me your email. We usually roll out around 3:00 PM and cover about 3ish miles. Good people. Good energy. Good for the soul. Let me know, and I’ll add you. Chris C / 360-903-8173 E / chris@imscapital.com
