FREE Wine, Beer and Food at Dickerman Prints Tonight

I just got back last night at 1:30am from being on at my GF’s family’s farm in upstate NY.  So I’m still a little tired, bug bitten, and slightly jet lagged.  But it was an awesome trip!  I got to eat a garbage plate, fuck with big time illegal fireworks,
