Regional author and poet Tamara Kaye Sellman leads a wacky, MadLibs-inspired poetry building workshop using our beloved Sasquatch as a central figure. Hear some real poems dedicated to PNW cryptids, then venture to write some of your own after a sample round. Choose between Bigfoot, the Kraken, the Tree Octopus, the Lady of the Lake; or, Northwest-ify your favorite classic creature (Hint: The Hurricane Ridge Were-Marmot). If there's time, we'll share a few! Fun for all ages; poetry templates and pencils provided! No poetry experience necessary.

Fermented Fiction: Live Podcast & Drink-Along
Welcome to a special LIVE edition of Fermented Fiction, the show where we drunkenly debate the best movies, books, and shows in the genre fiction realm based upon the will and whimsy of the Dice Gods. This weekend, our topic is the international smash-hit K-pop Demon Hunters. Live in the Sunset Lounge, our debaters will roll two D20s. The high roll shall defend, the low roll shall attack, whether they love this movie or not. After the showdown, we'll break down our true feelings, explore the writing and filmmaking crafts, and get a little tipsy with our signature, themed cocktails. With hosts Clay Vermulm and Jeremy Hudson, featuring special guest debaters Lish McBride and Kendare Blake.
