Into storage it all goes for a little while. Changing things up a bit. Some exciting plans, but also some unknowns to embrace. Life’s too short to not live how you want to / should be. 🌎 ♾️

#SimonsPlace over on whatever it’s called was born out of asking who the hell was around a year ago when the rocket and car making megalomaniac took over. The delicious unintended consequence of which was a glorious community of marketing and adjacent folk laughing and sharing ideas. Lets recreate!
