Most Rapturous Lucid Ever
May 21st was a bit of a bust, but the prophets-that-be have confered and stated that June 8th is the actual epochal moment. They're not sure what's going to happen, but they're sure it'll be revealed at Lucid NYC.
On deck to present are Miriam Simun, the artist behind Breast Milk Cheese speaking about the localist of cuisines. We have urban caveman John Durant talking about the many innovations in primitivism. Priceline.com founder and entrepreneurial powerhouse Jeff Hoffman will tell us how to launch any venture, whether it's an unorthodox cheese shop or multi-unit urban cave-dwellings.
As always, there will be food, drinks and music before the presentations. Drom features a full dinner menu and there will be a happy hour from 7-8. Music courtesy of Music for Tomorrow, will provide the soundtrack for this amazing evening.
