Lecture: James Victore  The King is Dead; Long Live the King

Brash.
Bold.
Profane.
Funny.
Controversial.

You’ll get your chance to decide how to describe him, because next month James Victore is coming to his favorite town (after New York City, of course). And he is inviting you to come help him celebrate the future Victore and mourn Victore past. The evening will feature an exhibit and lecture, complete with tunes afterwards from Austin’s own “Moonlight Towers.”

There will also be an auction for some of Victore’s posters as well as other items. Proceeds will go to benefit AIGA Austin.

Victore’s only stipulation for coming was that we serve “pie.” Don’t ask us—you’ll have to attend to find out why.

The entire evening promises to be different than your average Victore lecture, but just as hilarious and just as inflammatory.
