The river flows green and the bros have painted their cornhole boards with shamrocks…you know its gotta be Saint Patrick’s Day; But never mind that we got a nice big bunch of classy new porn art books from Goliath and a substantial restock of Top Shelf comics too so come by, get perked up.
Tonight the 2ndHand touches down and Thursday we are happy to host Jessica Hagy and her Venn Diagrams. So get out and over that cabin fever and maybe find a new book to help you make it thorough the end of winter
Update you planners Jessica Hagy is now speaking a day earlier on the 13th. Check the event listing for more info
Jessica Hagy is a different kind of thinker. She has an astonishing talent for visualizing relationships, capturing in pictures what is difficult for most of us to express in words.
At indexed.blogspot.com, she posts charts, graphs, and Venn diagrams drawn on index cards that reveal in a simple and intuitive way the large and small truths of modern life.
