Right now you’re probably asking yourself how those geniuses over at Improvised Life keep coming up with great material day after day? We’d like to show you what did NOT make the cut for today (that STILL has meaty grooves)… Juneteenth tshirt 2

  2. As always, you hit the nail on the head. YES. Now.
    And hopefully yesterday is a rich memory, another sort of nowness, like sitting out on Lenox Avenue eating that indulgent, stupifying meal at Harlem Shake with fmaily….Totally fun and chill. I recommend it.
