The Non-Motivational Speaker Series returns to New York's Lower East Side on Thursday, February 26, at 8 p.m.
BALTIMORE will be this month's theme. 2008 proved to be a landmark year for Baltimore as The Wire at last reached a viewership of over 127 people and the city was declared "Best Scene" in the country by Rolling Stone. Schooling you on the Renaissance you had no idea existed will be DJ Scottie B, godfather of the Bmore Club music genre [interview here]; co-founder of the WHAM City! artist collective and Baltimore City Paper cartoonist Dina Kelberman [interview here]; and bookmaker-turned-book writer Charlie Stella, contributor to the acclaimed Baltimore Noir crime anthology [interview here].
The event will start at 8 pm at the Happy Ending Lounge, and is free.
