No Going to Events for a While Folks

Do not go to events. Do not go out in general. Stay home as much as you can. We understand this is not an option for everyone. But if you can stay home, you must stay home to help those folks who cannot lower their risk. If you can be indoors, be indoors. Go out for groceries and other absolutely necessary trips only.

March 2nd – 8th

Vote! On the 3rd! Or tomorrow! You should find out where to vote and then vote in the Democratic Primary for whichever candidate floats your boat.

February 23rd – March 1st

Hello! Big deal up top: Chuck Forsman, of The End of the Fucking World (and the Netflix series) and I Am Not Okay With This (and the Netflix series) is going to be at the best comic shop in 100 miles, Comics N’ More! Buy both books at the store! Get them signed! A Local Creator who you can meet and say “I like your work” to!

February 17th – 23rd

First! Local Creator KC Green has an excellent new comic, Me And You. It’s available here! Also by clicking on the title in the sentence prior to the previous sentence. It’s about birds, and old-fashioned exaggerated cartoon violence.

February 10th – 16th

Head over to OEB Science Cafe this week [Thursday the 13th from 6PM – 7PM at the Nacul Center, 592 Main St., Amherst MA] to find out about Fire! Fire, our dearest friend, or most cunning foe. Fire, warm which is nice but also VERY warm which is bad! This is mostly about specifically how it relates to wider ecosystems and what it can do for good or ill. Also this is just a great line “Join Dr Emily Fusco and George LoCascio as we discuss the past, present, and future of fire.” It sounds like a class at a wizard academy. Also free food is there!

February 3rd – 9th

Oh! And definitely take the chance to head to Amherst Cinema this week and see the new Color out of Space movie starring Nicolas Cage, we’ve heard nothing but interesting things about it. Nic Cage and cosmic horror, what’s not to like?

January 27th – February 2nd

First up, board games! There are two Start Playing Games events this coming week, one at the good old Brass Cat in Easthampton [January 29th, 7PM – 11:30PM at 65 Cottage St, Easthampton] where you’ll get to play Klask! Which okay we weren’t 100% sure about based on the header image but to be honest this post has us convinced it isn’t to be missed

January 20th – 26th

First up, a new meetup! Indie Founders and Side Projects [Monday, January 20th, 7:00PM – 9:00PM (The Dirty Truth, 29 Main St, Northampton)]! If you’re running an online business or looking to get started, this is a casual place to meet other people who’ve done something similar and have a chat! Drinks and snacks are covered by UserKit, the sponsor of the meetup. So if you’re just looking for dinner, you’ve got a little less than 24 hours to think of a good online business idea.

January 13th – 19th

There’s also a big kickoff for NERDSummit 2020 this week at The Quarters [8 Railroad St, Hadley, MA 01035] at 6:00PM – 9:00PM. Attendees will get unlimited token wristbands! You can finally find out how quickly you can beat these old arcade games when money is no object.
