Join us as we shelob our way into October with leg-crafted spider webs and a little boogie--oogie-oogie.

We rewind to Ban This art exhibit at 1978 Arts Center, Perch grand opening, a drive down the GSP, and a teaser for our interview with Tori Chickering.

We’re looking forward to Pedrito Martinez (meet us at the Village Hall Pump House at 6pm!), the Mapso Book Fest, Banned Books Week events, Special Mushroom Hike, South Orange Downtown Fall Festival, and the Manet/Degas lecture series.

Three things with an Alzheimer’s fundraiser, Oakland Road Art Club Adult Costume-Making workshop, Outer-Borough Deli, a call for vendors, and—drum roll please—information about the infamous MAPSO Scary house decorating contest!

I hope we didn’t shelob things up too badly… and stay tuned for our bonus episode with Tori Chickering coming this weekend!
