These people are so great– they hosted free workshops for National Novel Writing Month last month–they have an amazing graphic novel collection — lots of stuff by women– love them! They’re next to Lovers and Madmen coffee shop and across from Distrito. A great local business to support.

Blargh! I can’t believe I missed this! Oh well. Chris and Josh, I should be in sometime this week to pay the electric bill (pick up a fat stack of high quality books). Locust Moon is in my top 5 favorite things about living in West Philly.
