While there's nothing wrong with a store-wide discount over crackers and champagne, Emil Baker of Sword + Fern is not content with a quiet affair to celebrate the two-year mark of her business. Mark your calendars now for Friday August 27, when "Backyard Mythology" will go down from 5-10 pm: There will be live music by Lovers, a photo show by Megan Holmes, skateboarding demos and lessons from Skate Like a Girl (!), plus a keg of Lompoc Fools Golden Ale, Dovetail Bakery snacks, DJ Party Martyr, and a sale on the Sword + Fern jewelry line. All this for free, in the back lot. Be there.
