Enter through the brick building with the blue Rivermill sign. Take a left, go through two doors, and you’re in the studio.

Due to a number of setbacks in planning and personal stuff within the committee, we have decided to postpone the Circus until the summer of 2016. We want this event to be as awesome as we can possibly make it; and we knew we couldn’t do it 100% with the time and circumstances this fall and winter. Stay tuned for the most incredible Wrong Brain event yet ——

A collection of personal experiences, poems and artwork inspired by the struggles, losses and triumphs over the heroin epidemic and addiction affecting the Seacoast, NH and Southern ME communities. Wrong Brain published this zine in hopes that it will reach someone struggling and inspire them to get help; to share our stories and let others know they are not alone; and band together in mourning over our friend Cody.

If you’d like a copy, or several copies to put in a place where they may be helpful – please email heywrongbrain@gmail.com.
