Ian M. Graham, writer, photographer, editor, and general raconteur at large passed away a couple of weeks back, and we’re not done remembering how awesome he was.


Ian M. Graham, writer, photographer, editor, and general raconteur at large passed away a couple of weeks back, and we’re not done remembering how awesome he was.

And now’s your chance to take part in memoriam. Come on out to Gallery 5 this Sunday to tell stories, raise our glasses high, watch photo montages and listen to music that “the Professor” loved!

More details about the event can be found here.

Ian’s family will hold a private ceremony the day before, so this is our chance to get raucous like the man would have wanted us to.

In lieu of flowers, Ian’s family asked donations be made to the SPCA with the explicit request that “no funds be used to make another one of those god damn Sarah McLaughlin commercials.” *
