Before we settle down for drinks and comics, Ed and Reggie Ossé (the former managing editor of The Source and creator and host of the Combat Jack Podcast) will sit down to talk hip hop, comics and whatever else tickles their fancy. Besides the first volume, the new volume, the conversation, the creator, the drinks–we'll also have a few advance copies of the limited edition slipcase version of Hip Hop Family Tree 1&2 available. You can make up whatever hyperbolic phrase you'd like to describe this night: it'll probably fit!"
