Our Friend Wolfman

hey again,

So if you are Oakland Loakcal you will know that we love E.M. WOLFMAN GENERAL INTEREST SMALL BOOKSTORE (and you do too). If you are not local (i.e. Holly & Sarah) then you should go to their website RIGHT NOW and look at all the marvelous things and pretend you are actually inside the store.

But we are not here to only promote Wolfman Books in a non-specific way, we are here to say that our talented member, jack of all trades, dear friend HOLLY MEADOWS SMITH wrote a piece for their new Quarterly Magazine! (A real life published mag filled to the brim with people we know and admire) It's all about the most inspiring people we ever did know, Unity. You can even check it out here.

That's not all - our printer of printers, man about town, meticulous and selfless member MOLLIE UNDERWOOD made 1,300 holiday cards for the said store! They are 4.75 x 4.75, red riso inked, scored and folded 80# uncoated card stock, and there are 13 of them! The cards are not only clever and funny, they're useful too! Send them to your estranged child, your step-aunt, your eldest sister's ex girlfriend, the possibilities are truly endless. Go to the 13th Street store and see them all for yourself.
