  Thanks for reaching out! We'll be away from our desks through the weekend, but if you need us, we'll be...

CLAIRE: I’ll be in a cluttered but cozy radio station recording booth in 1930, building my collection of man-made sound effects. I’m slapping newspapers together to sound like a flock of pigeons taking flight and clinking champagne coupes and filling a basin with water so I can put on my wellies and stomp up and down in it. Slosh, slosh, slosh. It takes all weekend and I have an absolute blast. 

KATE: I’ll be at one of those Goodwill Outlets with the huge bins but the only people who have donated to this particular location are outlandish grandmas so the hunt is exhilarating and I have an hour long dressing room fashion montage with a 2000s bubblegum pop soundtrack 

HELEN: I’ll be floating in one of those sensory deprivation pods but the only sound is Cabeau’s pop-punk cover of “Betty” from Folklore.
