All the history you knew but forgot and all the booze you need to forget it again.
The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies (S.A.S.S!) is proud to present a series of lectures designed to both entertain and enlighten. At each meeting we will discuss a different historical topic that you probably knew at one point, but don’t remember anymore.
They say there’s truth in fiction, so this month, we’re looking at the real history behind our favorite fantastical tales. It’ll be fun, it’ll be nerdy, and no one will make any “fake news” jokes.
