What's Good:

Hello 'Urbody

Hope you all had enjoyable breaks!
Please allow me to fill you in on what's good for the next two weeks:

_Pulp Ink & Hops

We have four tickets, these will be given to students on a first come first serve basis,
SO if you can get yourself to PI&H (it's easiest to drive, but from what I understand you can take the lightrail and then walk),
and want a ticket, send me an email. The first four people I receive emails from will receive the tickets.
This is probably the biggest event that Baltimore AIGA does all year, so I strongly encourage you to go and mingle!
It's at the National Electronics Museum. on OCT 22. THAT'S THIS THURSDAY
GET AT ME SOON.

Some Thangs

So as you may or may not know, we had a really excellent membership drive!
27 people, 5 of which were renewing. So welcome and welcome back.

Thoughts on Matt McNary Lecture?
I thought the "virtual tour" of the Hammerpress shop was very interesting as well as the conversation between printer and client.

Get your Bolt Tickets asap!
32 dollars round trip (and they text/email confirmation to your phone)

Thank you to everyone who uploaded thumbnails for the gallery proposal. GOOD JOB BECKY KEEP IT UP!

*FALL BREAK*

We're not going to have a meeting Monday
However, we're trying to have a bake sale on thursday.
If you're interested in baking email Michelle or myself and we can give you more information.




STAY WARM & RELAX
