"The Book-Makers - A History of the Book in Eighteen Lives" (6/18 7am Online)
Can a book about book-makers & an online interview interest e-readers? Perhaps. Or not, considering the SfV 1980-90's moniker was Peripheral Valley which ushered out books.

A celebration of the printed book, told through the lives of 18 people who took it in radical new directions.
This is an extraordinary story of skill, craft, mess, cunning, triumph, improvisation, and error. Of printers and binders, publishers and artists, paper-makers and library founders.

None of the 40 venues for "Netflix Is a Joke" Comedy Festival in Los Angeles May 1-12 are in the San Fernando Valley, home to 45% of L.A.'s 4 million people. 540+ comedians missing the SFV audience!
There are 14 comedians, of 540+, who are participating in the event, who have been vetted - who have had the label of "clean comedian" attached to their name by multiple sources. It is possible other comedians at the event are "clean", but we didn't find them on the most popular lists.
The event is open to all ages, but like any comedy show, some material may be inappropriate for younger attendees.
