Ellen Sandbeck’s new book “Green Barbarians” is having its book launch at the Spiritual Deli at 3 W. Superior St. It’s fine, bold foray that turns away from ecological no-saying into ecological yes-saying. It’s also illustrated with Sandbeck’s elegant black and white papercut images, and with her great little “barbarian” glyph–just made for a tattoo.

It’s a costume party: come as a Green Barbarian (or for you Avatar fans, a bluegreen barbarian) and Win Fabulous Prizes. It’s Fri., January 22 at 6 pm.

Eat, drink, and be merry in good barbarian style (you might even find out about “bread napkins”). Northern Lights Books will be there with copies of the book to buy.
