BIG UPDATE: We’re pushing the Afrofuturist Vampire Dance Party back to DECEMBER 8th, 8:30pm - 1:00AM, and changing the venue to FIRST LIVE (219 Central Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11221).
Nearly every day this week, I've whisked by the library to print out the free 20 pages offered for each day. Then I'd take the flyers I've cut from them, visit a new coffee shop in the neighborhood, and leave them amongst the others.
