Rookie Road Trip
For those unfamiliar, Rookie is an online magazine for teens focusing on style, music, advice and more, founded by blogging wunderkind Tavi Gevinson. This summer, the Rookie team is heading out for a nationwide road trip in partnership with Urban Outfitters and The Ardorous.
Rookie will be stopping at Omaha’s favorite independent theater Film Streams on July 2nd, to attend a screening of Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom at 3 p.m. Afterwards, the crew plans on walking to Lisa’s Radial Café around 5 p.m. On July 3rd, Rookie will be at Omaha’s Urban Outfitters location for a day of crafting and banner making, beginning at 3 p.m. They will provide ribbons, scissors and paint, but suggest that attendees bring their own fabric.
