Tired of leaving the old pooch at home when you go out? Here’s your chance to bring ’em along for the fun.
On April 29th, the Nook & Cranny Backyard Box (194 S. 2nd Street in Williamsburg) will be hosting a release event for Lydia Conklin’s new comic, The Living Cain, the first in Killing the Buddha’s pamphlet series “What Is Missing?” It tells the story of how Conklin went from dorm-room heartbreak to a habit of fostering homeless dogs. Between 8 and 11 pm, DJ Primavera Rossman will be making the noise. An optional $10 at the door will score guests a copy of The Living Cain and a ticket to partake in the open bar. Others can bring their own refreshments and opt to buy a pamphlet separately.
Dogs are welcome to attend. Bring a dog and get a free ticket to the open bar.
In case of inclement weather, the party will relocate to Lucky Dog at 303 Bedford Ave.
