Ha! Our #LCS #HubComics in #UnionSquare #SomervilleMA is the subject of a really cool artwork: a scale model of the shop, by @dinagjertsen (has been doing a series of similar works for local Somerville landmarks, like Martha Friend's house on Highland, and Buddy's Diner). I love this city.

InstagramHub Comics on Instagram: "What's that? A new Hub Ad??? We've missed sharing these with you so here's something to hold you over for the time being. New in the shop this week is... The shop itself! Or rather a smaller version. Local artist Dina Gjersten has graciously and artfully recreated a miniature model of your favorite local comic shop complete with miniature versions of some of your favorite books on the shelves and I'm the window display! This model will be on display in the larger version of the store for the next few weeks so definitely swing by to check it out! And while you're at it, visit Dina's Instagram profile ( @dinagjertsen ) to check out more of her other work."33 likes, 2 comments - hubcomics on May 16, 2025: "What's that? A new Hub Ad???

InstagramSide Quest Books & Games | Caroline on Instagram: "⚔️ Calling all adventurers! ⚔️ If you’re looking to join a D&D campaign or find some folks to put together a one-shot of Thirsty Sword Lesbians, this is the meet-n-greet for you. We’ve done two of these since opening, and both have been a huge hit! Groups that met here have gone on to form long-running campaigns that ACTUALLY MEET UP TO PLAY REGULARLY (😱), so not to toot our own horn or anything, but we’re basically gods. How it works: snag a ticket at the link in our bio; get a drink from Nook or Rebel Rebel on your way to the shop; fill out a name tag with the games you want to play, the nights you’re free, and whether you’re willing to run the game; then chat to some like-minded folks and get planning! It’s gonna be gross out on Saturday, so come hang with us and do something fun in our cozy little wizard’s tower. See y’all there! • • • @bow.market #lfgs #dndevents #dnd #ttrpgs"16 likes, 2 comments - sidequestbooks on April 10, 2025: "⚔️ Calling all adventurers! ⚔️ If you’re looking to join a D&D campaign or find some folks to put together a one-shot of Thirsty Sword Lesbians, this is the meet-n-greet for you.

If you HAVE an entry ticket but have not yet signed up for an ADD-ON ticket for a game or a discussion group — get on that now before they’re all gone. Plenty of spots left for D&D, Community Radio, Kids on Brooms, and Moonlight on Roseville Beach! Just head back to the Eventbrite page and you should be able to purchase the add-on separately (just make sure you do also already have your entry ticket secured). 3. We’re working on finalizing the programming outside of the games and discussion groups, too! Everyone will have access to the painting table for painting RPG minis, we’ll have a small lending library of rules-lite TTRPGs for y’all to borrow during the con, and LAST BUT NOT LEAST, @ladylusan will be setting up shop to offer 20-minute character sketches!! You can book a time slot for that on my Calendly — check out the linktr.ee in my bio.

Storytime

Scene: supper

Me [telling a story about a video some folks were making a while back, where I was supposed to play a ridiculous hipster. I couldn’t make the filming b/c something came up, but I found the whole thing entertaining] And then I was going to open up an old timey brief case and pull out an old timey phone with a cable cord and say—

My kid: Wait, so what does this have to do with being a hamster?
