Digital Artifact Magazine Presents
A Launch Party and Resource Sharing Rodeo!
Readings and performances by Ariel Goldberg, Christian Nagler, Matt L. Roher & Jacob Evans

When: Thursday, August 13, 7:00 PM
Where: Modern Times Bookstore, 888 Valencia Street, SF
How: Free

Digital Artifact, an online, multimedia publication, invites you to beat the recession blues with a borrowed bounty feast in celebration of Issue Three: We Made This For You Out Of Nothing. Bring blackberries from Bernal Heights, garden grown zucchini bread, wild crafted nettle tea, and what have you! We will also facilitate a brief resource-sharing rodeo to foster culture making in cash strapped times. Bring unused art supplies to donate to Big Brothers/Big Sisters, sign up to swap skills (know web design? need a grant writer?) or just munch on some blackberries and enjoy the readings and performances.
