What can I say? I have very creative friends. Here are a couple of events I wanted to let you know about taking place soon by a couple of FOB© (friends of the blog).
First up is
Liquid Liquid member, Dennis Young. For the last couple of years he's been working on paintings based on tribal mask designs. In tandem with artist Andrew Riss, Dennis will be showing his paintings at the Bank Left Art Space in Teaneck, NJ, from September 10-26. The opening will be on Sept. 10 from 6-9PM at the gallery. Visit the gallery
website or their page

Next is prolific writer, blogger, Mets fan, and Bruce Springsteen fan extraordinaire, Caryn Rose. Caryn has her debut novel out entitled B-Sides & Broken Hearts, and she'll be launching the book with an event in Brooklyn at the Soft Spot on August 25. For all of the info, visit the
event Facebook page, and get out there & support your local writers!

B-Sides and Broken Hearts at Amazon. Visit the official book wesbite
