PERK ALERT
A Tiny Speaker with Ridiculous Power
Perks is getting you first dibs on the WOWee ONE Pro, a tiny wireless speaker that turns any surface into a pounding subwoofer.
(Travel case included, naturally.) We’re also sending you a silly amount of Pat
LaFrieda short ribs from his Meat Men show, and handmade hardwood cases to hug your
iPhone.

RIDE ON
Taxis. With Mariachis in Them.
It’s been too long since you were driven in an SUV while being serenaded by a mariachi band. So Friday,
tap the sombrero on the Uber app and await your chariot. You’ll be entertained en route, then dropped off
with some margarita mix and a piñata. You can take it from there.

Endless Juleps at the Starlight Room
The Derby itself: about two minutes. The time you’ll spend enjoying bottomless mint juleps at this
Southern brunch: let’s just say more than two minutes. Expect mac and cheese, brisket, biscuits and pecan
pie—and a silly amount of silly hats. Yep, two sillys’ worth.

straight, on the rocks and shaken in margaritas. Here’s to keeping it in the family.
