Cut & Paste is coming back around to SF this weekend.  Last year, I took home the final prize, and now this year Deny will be taking his turn to compete for the crown.  Please come out and scream his name while works his skills on stage.  If you have never heard of or been to a Cut&Paste event – think DJ battle, only it’s design instead of music.

Ticket purchase and more info here.
