The Almanac is an independent journal of art and magic, fact and fiction, poetry and philosophy. It was founded to distill the voices of the fleeting performers, the buskers, day job troubadours and honest tramps. Its first collection is a compilation of essays, short stories, autobiographical revelations, collages, photography, paintings, mixed media, and poems from artists around the world. Featuring works from David Pasquesi (actor - " Strangers With Candy", "Year One"), Abby Sher (author - Kissing Snowflakes, Amen, Amen, Amen), Gary Rudoren (author - "Comedy By The Numbers") and a wide variety of comedians, lawyers, architects, ne'er-do-wells, hopeless romantics, poets and thieves, The Almanac skips down the spectrum from darkness to whimsy--often on the same page.
