52nd City Sells Out
Well, we certainly hope to. Buy issues at the Firecracker Press booth both tonight at tomorrow night, at the Schlafly Bottleworks "Art Outside" festival; it's booth #9 for you organized folks. This is apt, because everyone that's picked up the mag has commented on the lovely covers, executed by the Firecracker.
Now, we also should note a couple more sign-on's for the 52nd City Variety Show, including: Tom Weber, who'll be dramatically reading the lyrics of popular television shows (really); and the performance art of Typewriter Tim, who'll be performing in-and-out of a bodybag, with his slot a more firm 8 p.m. Other talented acts will rotate in as the evening progresses.
The potential for a beautiful trainwreck! Gotta love it!
Also, we should note that slam poets would consider the room "blessed," now that Eugene Redmond and Michael Castro have spoken in the Crown Room, part of last night's Observable Readings series. Our friends at Observable kicked things off with two local legends and an attentive crowd was on-hand for some entertaining and evocative work. We'll note, too, that Aaron Belz will have poetry at the Crown Room of the Bottleworks just prior to our event, at 5 p.m. with some new emerging poets taking the mic and stage.
That is all.
