Hobby
Here's the information for this months Hobby event, our monthly gathering at Harvest HQ, where three fine citizen are invited to talk about their hobbies (this month, we'll even be throwing in a fourth speaker!). We'd be happy to get another mention on NonsenseNYC.
Our esteemed speakers for the upcoming hobby: Samara Strauss dabbles in many hobbies, and she’ll be talking about singing and giving you insight to the many musical adventures she’s had; Jennifer Brook will be discussing how she makes her own limoncello; Dan Selzer prints letterpress posters because cutting giant stacks of paper, setting wood type and scrubbing ink off her hands feels good; David Wolkin is a comic book aficionado.
Each speaker has five minutes to explain their particular recreational pursuit, followed by a five minute Q and A with the audience.
