Thanks to all who attended or helped out at the fundraiser

Artem is so so sleepy because he was up so late last night printing these posters that he asked ME to make a post about our @centralststudios fundraiser THIS THURSDAY 10/30 7p at Sacco’s Bowling @afbsomerville He wanted me to tell you that the fundraiser at Sacco’s Bowling this Thursday 10/30 at 7p is more of a FUNdraiser, because we’ve got music by us along with @scrodband @side.body and @magdanbrass along with some extra special acts, a costume contest, and different art vendors from our studio He made special mention of the fact that every dollar spent at the fundraiser at 7p this Thursday 10/30 at Sacco’s Bowling will go towards keeping our studio as an affordable space for artists in Somerville Oh yeah, and the posters? The posters available exclusively at the fundraiser this Thursday 10/30 at 7p at Sacco’s Bowling that he and @srithumati designed and made just for you? He PLEADED with me to tell you that every poster sold gets him 10 minutes back in snoozeville #HonkShooMiMiMiMiMi #WillHeEverLetMePostAgain #AndWhyDidIChooseWonderwall
