How is Tamara involved?
My Space will feature a mashup of Wirealm by Tamara and debut of my Chalkboard & Graphic Arts.
Where will it be?
1800 S Bell St, Arlington VA in Crystal City
But where exactly will Tamara be...?
4th Floor! Dark Purple section. People should be around to hand you a map. But for reference - Immediately out of the elevator, there will be a corner of colorful horizontal ribbons - pass them and turn LEFT after them. I'm the first door on the left.
