turns placing black and white stones on a grid, trying to surround and
capture each other’s stones and claim the most territory on the board. The
rules are so simple that the game can be learned in 5 minutes. But the
strategy is so deep it can take a lifetime to master. So come learn this
incredible game that has captivated the world’s greatest minds for over 2500 years.

For seven years, Darlyn and Brad co-directed the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival. Come to Happy Medium and hear them read their work!
Brad and Darlyn Kuhn, founders of the PR & Marketing firm Brad Kuhn & Associates, LLC, have ghost-written more than a dozen books together over the past twenty years, but their favorite collaboration so far has been Three Houses, a novella in verse, written in 2005 to celebrate their passionate meeting and subsequent marriage in the little house in Orlando, Florida where Jack Kerouac wrote The Dharma Bums.
Brad Kuhn has been a staff writer for The Wall Street Journal, The Orlando Sentinel, and Orlando Business Journal. He has been honored with several Telly Awards for video journalism for the Beacon College series, A World of Difference. He is an award-winning poet and the author of I Hate My Banker, a tongue-in-cheek business book. His latest book, Dirty Work, co-authored with Captain Richard Vaux, chronicles Vaux’s secret mission to “steal back” a 727 hijacked by Palestinian terrorists.
Darlyn Finch Kuhn, a retired journalism instructor at UNF and a retired composition instructor at FSCJ, is the author of the poetry and short-story collection Red Wax Rose. Her novel, Sewing Holes, a coming-of-age story set in Jacksonville, won the 2015 Royal Palm Literary Award, presented by the Florida Writers Association. Her poems have been featured on NPR and read by Garrison Keillor on The Writers’ Almanac.
