Description
Join an intimate group of 12-15 people to have breakfast and talk with DC's Gogo-ologist Nico Hobson (founder of Gogo Radio Live and longtime archivist of DC's gogo bands and scenes) and Kip Lornell of GW (co-author, with Charles L. Stephenson, of The Beat: Go-Go's Fusion of Funk and Hip Hop).
There will be music played, discussions had, personal stories told of Nico's and Kip's work with gogo over the years (and of community, creativity, brilliance, and resilience) told, and a continental breakfast onsite.
