May the Fourth Be With You

May the Force be with you on (when else?!) May the 4th! Renowned pop culture historian and former Baltimore Jewish Times senior reporter Mathew Klickstein invites you to boldly go on a fantastic voyage into the wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination: geekdom, fandom, and all manner of nerding out! Referred to lovingly as the "geek guru of the 21st century" by none other than King Geek and DEVO frontman Mark Mothersbaugh, Klickstein will be speaking about subjects ranging from comic books, to science fiction, to fantasy and more -- with a Jewish cultural twist -- all culled from his two most recent books SEE YOU AT SAN DIEGO: AN ORAL HISTORY OF COMIC-CON, FANDOM, AND THE TRIUMPH OF GEEK CULTURE and THE LITTLE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF JEWISH CULTURE. Fun for fanboys and fangirls of all ages.
More information on Mathew Klickstein: www.MathewKlickstein.com. Titles can be purchased in advance online, in stores, or wherever you purchase your books for free autographs at the event.

Who Knows One? With Micah Hart

Who Knows One? is a hilarious game show that has become a cultural hit in the Jewish community over the course of the pandemic, reuniting old friends and creating new ones with an innovative game that combines Six Degrees of Separation and Jewish Geography. Now the creator of Who Knows One? is bringing the experience to us with a live, interactive show! Come see how we're all connected to each other, share a few laughs along the way — and maybe even be a part of the show yourself!
