Wanna spend a fun weekend with me improvising drawn stories on index cards at a renowned yoga retreat? I sure do! Nina Paley’s Visual Storytelling Workshop @Kripalu Register here!

Interested parties please get in touch – [...] Tribeculosis kept me home from Raw-Chester, but I’m still going to Germ-any tomorrow.
