| Share Hello and Happy Sunday. If you see me at the Irvington Farmers Market today outside New York City, introduce yourself. I’ll be wearing my Ankler hat, listening to a podcast with one earbud in and probably checking out the fresh asparagus. (A more reliable way to reach me: email me at david@theankler.com and let me know how we’re doing.) An Ankler IRL triple-header alert! From June 8-10, we have three exciting events in L.A. Make sure to RSVP: June 9: It’s The Ankler x Thom Powers Documentary Spotlight event, featuring conversations with Andrew Jarecki, James Carville and Matt Tyrnauer, Alex Gibney, Lisa Henson, Fisher Stevens and Prentice Penny. I’m told Carville will have lots to say about this election year and, I gotta presume, a certain conviction that just happened. RSVP here
