Live Shots: Skill Exchange Launch Party

Photos by Bowerbird Photography [1]

Essential life skills surely include knowing how to tie a bow tie, or how to saber champagne. Ok, maybe the second one is more like a glorified party skill, but it's probably one worth having, just for shits and giggles.

If you were at the Skill Exchange Launch Party [2] last night at Store Front Lab [3] then you learned how to do BOTH of those things. And for the next three days, you can feast on a smorgasbord of other wonderful instruction, including urban chickenry, the basics of wiring a lamp, letterpress printing, and bike mechanics.

Think of how smart you'll be after all these workshops?! Well worth checking out. Here's a list of all the class options, although some of them might already be sold out. Tickets can be purchased here [4]. Check out the lineup:
