Poster Offensive 4 – Part Deux

We’ll be having the second Poster Offensive Friday, October 3rd at Frank Stone Gallery in Northeast Minneapolis. It’s gonna be a great party.

We’re proud to announce that Goodby, Silverstein & Partners from San Francisco, along with The Huffington Post, have included three posters that are a reaction to the Bush years. We’re excited for that they approached us about this. We’re big fans.

We will also have a couple of cool posters from our friend Paul Gardner of Florafauna. Cool stuff.

Chowgirls will be catering the event with a tasty assortment of vittles.

And, believe it or not, there will be beer.

Everything starts at 5pm. Get there early for the best selection! Remember, the posters went on sale once already.

Woooh!  ProVention is going to be a concert that is to address the Republican National Convention happening here in St. Paul.  Should be a ton of fun with plenty of music, drink, and comaraderie.
