Nice email from a user. Day made.
Makes our day every time without fail!
David—
I was introduced to Hollrr from a friend of mine that read about your company while flying. As a lover of new products — Hollrr really strikes a cord. I have been working for a startup company in Cleveland, Ohio for the last five years, so I appreciate your platform for “the underdogs.” In fact, I have been developing a new mobile media accessory product on the side that I will be launching this holiday season — and I can’t wait to try to get the word out using Hollrr. We’ll be looking to make things public in about 2-3 weeks.
Again, thanks for creating Hollrr!
Best,
MikeMike - thanks for the kind words!
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass
An awesome (and free) music festival in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. I just went this past weekend and it was awesome. A lot of big names (highlight was: Old Crow Medicine Show)
I was wondering why it was free and it turns out, it is funded, every year by ONE guy!
Warren Hellman is the kind of billionaire investment banker who makes it hard to hate billionaire investment bankers. Every year, Hellman — a successful venture capitalist and an amateur banjo player — organizes something called the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, a three-day celebration of picking and strumming in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. It’s open to all and 100 percent free — and every year, Hellman picks up the tab. Since its inception eight years ago, with two stages and nine bands, HSB has grown into perhaps the largest free festival in the country: Over the weekend an estimated 500,000 fans crammed into this year’s installment, more than Coachella, Lollapalooza and All Points West combined.
Amazing….

Another great one. And, very “me”
Really great article (VERY LONG), but so worth it. The article examines the systemic and economic breakdowns of our health care system, and the importance (but lack of) incentives.
An example post:
#3 Princeton:
Home of: The Eating-Club Douche
Affectations: They invented affectations!
A peek inside: Most Ivy Leaguers try (unconvincingly) not to mention which college they went to. Not at Princeton.
In ten years, will be: Our boss.
Favorite pickup lines: “Hey, didn’t I see you at the Cap & Gown Club?” “Hi. My father invaded Cuba.”
How to get in: “There is no formula for what makes the best Princeton student. In one year, we may be looking for that talented oboist* to fill out the woodwind section of the orchestra, while another year we may be focused on finding a well-rounded field-hockey player.”—cass cliatt, director of media relations
*Seriously, what is it about elite universities and the oboe?
Honorable-mention eating-club institutions: A basketball school in Durham, a university in New Haven, a college in Cambridge.
