February 2009 Archives

This Saturday from noon to 4pm in BSS's Delgado recording studio, come talk about the best stories you have in losing a job. From the team behind "the Providence Break-up Project" comes another audio adventure. This time, it's about corporate/non profit heart break! The project is being recorded by the young people of Broad Street Studio.

Join us this Thursday, Feb 26 at 4:30 at Broad Street Studio to meet designer and screen printer, Peter Cardoso. If design and screen printing is your bag, this will be an amazing community meeting. Working out of a basement in Pawtucket, RI, Peter Cardoso made breath-taking record album covers for bands like Street Dog, Lost Angels, and Mighty Mighty Bosstones just to name a few. Clear your agendas and come to our community meeting because this is going to be slamming! Visit Peter's website at http://www.ghost-town.net/index.html
