Bookshop Santa Cruz Presents: Adam Savage for EVERY TOOL'S A HAMMER

MythBusters' Adam Savage -- Discovery Channel star and one of the most beloved figures in science and tech -- is coming to Santa Cruz to share his golden rules of creativity found in his new book, Every Tool's a Hammer -- from finding inspiration to following through and successfully turning your idea into reality. Join us at DNA's Comedy Lab on Tuesday, May 14, at 7 p.m. for this very special evening!

Your $30 ticket package includes entry to the event and one signed copy of Every Tool's a Hammer to be picked up at the event. Please note: if you are unable to attend, your book is retrievable at Bookshop Santa Cruz for three months after the event.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Adam Savage is a maker. From Chewbacca's bandolier to a thousand-shot Nerf gun, he has built thousands of spectacular projects as a special effects artist and the cohost of MythBusters. Adam is also an educator, passionate about instilling the principles of making in the next generation of inventors and inspiring them to turn their curiosity into creation.

In this practical and passionate guide, Adam weaves together vivid personal stories, original sketches and photographs from some of his most memorable projects, and interviews with many of his iconic and visionary friends in the arts and sciences -- including Pixar director Andrew Stanton, Nick Offerman, Oscar-winner Guillermo Del Toro, artist Tom Sachs, and chef Traci Des Jardins -- to demonstrate the many lessons he has picked up from a lifetime of making.

Things like: don't wait until everything is perfect -- in your workshop or in your life -- to begin. Plan with pencil and paper. Sweep up every day. Learn from doing. Share your toys. There is an exact tool for every task (Adam probably has four of them in his wondrous shop), but if you need to pound in a nail and all you have handy is a skill saw -- hammer away. The most important thing, always, is just that you make something. Every Tool's a Hammer is sure to guide and inspire you to build, make, invent, explore, and most of all, enjoy the thrills of being a creator.

Every Tool's a Hammer publishes on May 7th and is $27 retail. Again, your ticket package includes the book and entry to the event.
