It’s a release party event for the ‘zine Life is a Rip Off Part One, which collects those hilarious and on-the-money reviews that Wolf Eyes’ John Olson (he’s on the left in that photo there) posted on his American Tapes website. On top of all of that, it’s the release party for a nifty photo book by the Dirtbombs’ Patrick Pantano, which chronicles Detroit’s music scene as well as his life on the road with that fabulous band.
