Well Nell, one of our studio monitors and members, suggested he get a revamp with a personal touch and we agree!

Join us in re-rendering our monster friend by either submitting a drawing here on IG, or join us for an in-person doodle sesh Sept 3rd from 5pm-8pm at the Clay Center.

Backline W**e and Spirits will be having a w**e tasting from 5-7 so feel free to get your sip on too!

Thanks to Gwen Yates for the cute flyer!
