What's in the Cards this Week at IPM

Happy New Year everyone, from Ave Rose and the peeps at IPM!

It seems that we all survived the Mayan Calendar, and we survived the holiday season. For a quick recap on the recent turns of the (yule) tides of 2012:

Ave Rose made you a song and video with the help of HRX Records and a whole crew of merry men listed here. And the whole holiday record is still downloadable here.

But enough about that, what about this? EBOOKS! 

Yes, that is right, IPM is getting down on the downloadable format! The eBook library list is growing fast! Here is our eBook list to date: 

 

Fragile Bodies  

 

 

Van Wyck 1: Van Wyck and the Pirates of the Outback Empire 

 

 

Van Wyck 2: Van Wyck and the Surf Monks of Santa Monica 

Van Wyck 3: Van Wyck and the Clan of the Sour Hand

Van Wyck 4: Van Wyck and the LA Buzzsaws

 
 

Van Wyck 5: Van Wyck and the Black Swan

And more, coming soon.

But now that you've received the gift of song, and you've gotten your ebook on, what about Saturday night? Well, this weekend the gift of gab is yours, along with the atwork at this month's installment at the Hive Gallerym beginning Saturday, January 5, 2012, from 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m..
