As we do every year, we're closing the shop all day this Black Friday (tomorrow, 27th) and instead observing Buy Nothing Day 2020. It's a small thing, but it matters to us. A remembrance of magic in the midst of the material maelstrom ✨🌟 #BuyNothingDay #huntmagic https://t.co/MSk7XUIDI7

Outdoor dining is closed in LA and an emergency stay at home order on the way and yet I just drove by a packed 100+ person line outside Best Buy. Nothing makes sense!
