You’re “working on a project,” which mostly means being exactly where something interesting might happen. You know who’s dating who, who’s launching what, and which basement show will matter in six months. In between invoices., but your contacts list is stacked. That’s the long game.

YOUR UNIFORM:
Rare vintage sweater you absolutely paid too much for, wireframe glasses for intellectual credibility, an inconspicuous mini bag holding nothing but ambition, a subtle chain necklace, jorts with commitment, rugby socks worn one too many days in a row, hiking boots built for concrete, 10 sprays of a popular “indie” fragrance, and your emotional support lip balm.
