Last night marked a huge milestone for For The Record 🥰 we hosted the wonderful Remi Wolf, her management, and the amazing team at Island Records for an album signing celebrating Remi’s album, Mud. 240 people in 3.5 hours met Remi, joked around, took a photo, and got their album signed. It was a magical night!!! Thank you to everyone who came out and all the kind words you shared with me as you left.
Excited for what’s to come next and I am so proud of what we’ve accomplished so far!! 5 years of For The Record. To many more!
