“This time around the cut will be to commemorate the release of my new, short book of creative non-fiction. If you are the reading type, please stop by the merch booth at the Blowout on December 6th.“
The “blowout” she is referring to is the annual Doomtree Blowout, a concert/showcase for their group members which will take place, as usual, in Minneapolis.
