Saturday, November 13th, they are presenting a symposium for the release of their latest FREE quarterly–described as a “hybrid between arts calendar and newspaper.” And what does the symposium entail, you might ask?

On Getting Hurt (While Uninsured)

There is a website floating around currently called whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com.
