A few weeks ago I had the please of meeting Bruce Allen, co-host of That’s the Angle podcast, who interviewed me about my photography and many of the stories behind my images. Since then Bruce asked if he could do the book release party for Gratuity Included and we are now working together on creating a great event on Friday, March 27 at sPACycLOUd in Adams Morgan.
You can learn more about That’s the Angle by visiting his YouTube Channel or by subscribing to the podcast on Apple Podcasts.
Packing and shipping for all the orders of Gratuity included is now done. All international orders shipped Thursday and Friday, and all domestic orders shipped today. Thank you everybody for making this a great success! Printing for the second edition is about to get underway. And now I need a drink, wanna join me?
The Gratuity Included books arrived last night and they look and feel awesome. I managed to number and sign all 150 copies last night. Next step is prepping them for shipping!
Even though Gratuity Included has sold out online, I did have the foresight to save 20 copies for the upcoming Gratuity Included book release party and exhibit at sPACEycLOUd in Adams Morgan in DC on Friday, Mar 27. In addition, my good friends in the bands Zealot RIP and I Against Eye will be performing. This will really be off the hook as sPACEycLOUd is a great space filled with cool skate decks and lots of Russian, Ukrainian and Eastern European beers. Hope to see you there! Here is the Eventbrite RSVP.
Here are some production photos of Gratuity Included going through the bindery process. The books are being shipped to my house today. Then I need to hand-number and sign these before I ship them out to you!
At this point there are only 13 copies left for online sales - don't miss out!
