    $20
    06:00 PM - 08:30 PM on Fri, 6 Feb 2026

    Join us for a live taping of Homegoings, featuring father-and-son punk rock icons Bobby Hackney Sr. (Death) and Bobby Hackney Jr. (Rough Francis). In an intimate and wide-ranging conversation, the Hackneys will dig into legacy, family, and what it’s meant to carve out space as Black artists in punk rock. They’ll share stories from their recent journey to Africa, reflect on the power of ancestry and belonging, and trace the throughline from proto-punk to today.

    Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness a candid, intergenerational dialogue between two iconic voices in punk history.

    After the taping, stick around. We’ll keep the energy going with snacks from Onion City City Chicken & Oyster, a live DJ set from Bobby Hackney Jr., and time to hang.

    Winter Webinar Series: A Future Built on Batteries

    Zoom
    Free
    06:00 PM - 07:00 PM on Wed, 21 Jan 2026

    Batteries power our phones, cars, and even the renewable energy systems that drive a cleaner future. But what happens before and after they power our lives? Join us on this 1-hour webinar to explore the full life cycle of batteries — where their materials come from, what happens when they run out of charge, and why responsible recycling is essential for protecting our planet and ourselves. We’ll also be joined by a local firefighter, who will share important insights on battery safety — from proper storage and handling to what to do if a battery overheats or catches fire. Discover how you can be a Planet Protector in a world increasingly built on batteries.

    3rd Annual "Everything is Connected to Everything: Improving the Healthcare of Autistic & ADHD Patients" free webinar

    Zoom
    Tickets by donation
    06:00 PM - 07:00 PM on Tue, 27 Jan 2026

    Autistic & ADHD adults often have multiple intertwined health conditions. The healthcare system often gets in the way of clinicians addressing multiple medical problems at a time. Yet by treating these intertwined medical conditions as separate, this may result in a person not getting better. Thinking of these medical conditions as a group (or constellation) may result in more improvements.

    Join us for a free webinar
    “Everything is Connected to Everything: Improving the Healthcare of Autistic & ADHD Adults”
    Presented by Dr. Mel Houser, Executive Director of All Brains Belong VT
