Studio One gets legal
Hi!
The reading series (that's us) at Studio One was told we needed to purchase a booze permit. Without this permit, we would not be able to partake in libations while listening to pomes and jams. The permit was $100, which pretty much bankrupts the series. If you would like to donate monies to us to help out with the permit punch and purchase of these libations, we will happily accept!
Now you can rest, knowing that you are in a legal state when you partake in permitted wine and donate toward its purchase!
Also, don't miss tomorrow night's reading with Stephanie Young, music from Meklit Hadero & K. Silem Mohammad.
