COMPLETE THE SUMMER CHALLENGE
We put together an interactive summer challenge with the goal of making you feel more alive. There are tasks that require you to do something in the real world, then to mail some sort of proof of that thing to us in New York. Anyone who completes all the tasks will receive a special limited-edition Hot Literati reward.
