Hello, I’m Steve Davis

About the Btown Brief, and Why I Started it:

You moved here for the community feel. Six months later, you're scrolling through seventeen different sites trying to figure out what's happening tonight. You know exactly two people, and one of them is your landlord. Or, maybe you’ve been here for years, but you realize you've been stuck in the same three-restaurant rotation for months and you keep hearing about great events after they already happened

This isn't what you signed up for.

Enter: Btown Brief

Twice a week, I send you everything happening in Burlington. Fifteen-minute read. No algorithm. No endless scroll.

Weather, news, and every event I can find; from City Hall meetings to DJ nights. Plus restaurant reviews, food deals, volunteer opportunities, and photos of Burlington, like dogs at Waterfront Park.

I do the hunting and gathering. You pick what interests you.

Who am I?

Steve. Burlington resident. Love to hoop.

And I do the grunt work, I check a dozen local sources so you don't have to. City calendars, venue listings, Front Porch Forum, Facebook events, social media, local news; if it's happening here, it's in the Brief.

Over 1,300 neighbors read it! With an open rate of 72%.

Plot twist: We meet in real life

Just launched Burlington meetups on Meetup.com. Hoping to grow this into a full fledged community. It grew into this after I held Friends Mixers at the Coal Collective Spot, and 6-stranger meetups at different breweries.

Show up alone, leave with people to text.

It’s the early days of it, but I have a good feeling it’ll stick around!

Back to the newsletter:

It's twice weekly. Tuesday and Friday. 15 minutes each.

It's human. Real person, real connections, real Burlington.

Who should subscribe:

If you're tired of missing good stuff. If you want to know what's happening without checking six different websites. If you've been here three years and still discover entire venues you didn't know existed.

This is for you.
