On September 7th and 8th, 2019, the Brooklyn Antiquarian Book Fair will return to the Brooklyn Expo Center for the sixth straight year. Since Brooklyn is a recognized hub of underground culture, this year the Fair will focus on subculture and a number of new trends in collecting. Among the topics are magic, mysticism, witchcraft, underground fanzine culture and more.

The Fair features 110 dealers displaying over 50,000 items for sale including vintage books, vernacular photography, and rare paper, prints and ephemera – all priced from under $50 to many thousands of dollars. There will be something for everyone – from the seasoned collector to the first-timer.

But that’s not all. The Fair will also present two exclusive art exhibitions, ten seminars and a free-of-charge appraisal clinic. And proof that Antiquarian Book Fairs are not just for the older set, unique one-of-a-kind items such as a first edition Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, one of only 5,150 copies in wrappers, w

The Black Veg Society of Maryland (BVSMD) is pleased to announce its partnership with Changing Lives MD, The African Griot Book Fair and Safety City at Druid Hill Park in Baltimore in the inaugural Keep It Fresh Fest presented by MECU Neighborhood Event Grants.

History of Keep It Fresh
Keep It Fresh initiated as a campaign for youth, by youth. As a Green For All fellow, Denver native, eco-hiphop artist and vegan chef Dr. Ietef “Dj Cavem” Vita decided to ask for an official day as a way of pushing his clean air, clean water, and clean food initiative and use it as a way to highlight people around the world who use food as medicine.

“I grew up in the five points, breathing in polluted air from local factories. Fresh water has always been an issue, and the freshest thing in my neighborhood was a lemon in a liquor store. I’m really excited that other cities like Baltimore are down with the movement, and my goal is to make this a national day.” – Dr. Ietef Vita, a.k.a. DJ Cavem

At this conference you will not only gain additional insight to help guide your performance in your relationship but will also be given tools to affect/adjust the spirit/energy needed to accomplish that which is “seen” that you should do. This is vital. Everything is accomplished via energy! Just as a specific vibration/frequency/amount of energy is required in different situations, if any of these factors does not meet that which is required the desired effect will not be achieved . For example, a car battery requires 12 volts of electricity but it must be DC and not AC or when you turn the ignition key the car will not start.
