Abigail Child is in town to show some film and video at the Redcat, and is so mighty good as to stop by our little alleycat kennel to give a reading and throw up some projections on our wall. How often do you get to kick your feet up on the weekend and do home movies with Abigail?

Joining her is one the PRB's favorite LA scribblers -- urban explorer and all-around swell gal, Diane Ward. This one's a calendar highlight, folks. Hope to see you there!

Abigail Child: feats and deeds.  |  Diane Ward: histories and triumphs.
