Brendan Leonard bought the url semi-rad.com for $29 in 2011, intending to write a weekly post about adventure for a year and see what happened.

Almost nine years later, his writings on Semi-Rad.com are read by half a million people each year, and even more in his Semi-Rad column for Outside Magazine.

His new book, Bears Don't Care About Your Problems, is a collection of the best Semi-Rad stories since 2011, with all-new, color illustrations. At this event, Leonard will tell stories covering the history of Semi-Rad, which started as one guy cracking jokes about the outdoors on a small blog, and is still really just one guy cracking jokes, but for a few more readers.

This event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase.
