Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the Handcrafted Rhetorics SIG, SJAC (Social Justice at the Convention) Committee, and LAC (Local Arrangements Committee), we invite you to join us for Stitch & Spin, a craft slam and record nite extravaganza on Friday, April 11, 7:30 – 9:00 pm in convention rooms 309 & 310. Refreshments will be provided!
This event is part record nite, with a DJ to spin a track from your favorite record – or CD, cassette, or streaming! Bring physical media like a record, CD, etc. to the event to share, or leave a link to a streaming site or YouTube; submit songs in advance at bit.ly/StitchnSpin, or sign up day of. The other part of the event is a craft slam – you can make zines, quilt squares for the Feminist Caucus quilt, or bring your own crafting supplies; we will also have a slew of materials available for use. Join us in enjoying music, crafts, and food together!
If you’re interested in getting more involved, we are looking for volunteers to help support the event. There are a number of different roles, such as set up, assisting the DJ, staffing the craft tables, and clean up, with most shifts at only 30-45 minutes. Write your name or make a comment here to sign up to volunteer: Stitch & Spin Roles.
Finally, for more information and to stay up-to-date on event details, bookmark https://handcraftedrhetorics.org/4c25/. Feel free to share widely (see attached flyer), and bring friends! No pre-registration is required, just come on by!
We look forward to seeing you in Baltimore!
Best,
Megan Heise
