Lumberyard 6 Release Party at the Firecracker Press

We’ve been working hard on Lumberyard Magazine for three years now. With two issues per year… that makes this Summer’s issue, say, number six? That’s right, number six.

If you’ve followed Lumberyard’s short history you know that it’s gotten plenty of attention from the graphic design community and the poetry community as well (see the July issue of Small Business Monthly).

If you know nothing about Lumberyard it’s your lucky day. Saturday, July 31st at 7:00pm, The Firecracker Press will host “The Lumberyard Magazine #6 – Release Party.” We’ll have plenty of copies for sale, Kate from Beep Beep Boop Boop will DJ the night away, and Summer refreshments will be available.

Be seeing you.
