We just found out that our actual book-making machines will be in Manhattan and operating at the Saturday, April 21, five-course, sit-down dinner cooked by Ben Walmer of the Highlands Dinner Club. It’s going to be epic and messy, hot glue and sharp knives all around. It’s a small, long table, 50 seats, so get there now http://publicationstudio.biz/events/spring_launch_2012
