Monica Drake reading in Los Angeles! Oct 24th!
Hey, L.A. Friends! Let's all go meet Monica Drake, author of Clown Girl, this coming Saturday!
Saturday, October 24 – BLACK BOOT ISSUE #7 RELEASE PARTY – 8 PMPoets who know how to shake their asses. Music that won’t make you want to hurl rotten produce at some maudlin, narcissistic, gaunt singer-songwriter in painted-on jeans. Cheap refreshments to assuage the painful economic downturn. A magazine for the people! If you’ve ever been stuck in a water closet with The Austere Urn Review, you’ll appreciate how we get down. Please join us. $5 gets you in the door… and a copy of Issue 7 for only $2! Stories from Monica Drake (Clown Girl, Hawthorne Books), Steven Heighton (Afterlands, Harcourt), and poetry from the amazing Sierra Nelson and Ariana Kelly. Doors open at 7:30 for mingling.
Man, wish I could go. Sounds like fun. Say "HI" for me Mike.

imma try to make it to this. i wonder if she'll sign a copy of her book for me.
She told me she'd sign, I don't know if that means official with a line, or you catch her by the side or what...


I read Clown Girl a couple weeks ago. I really liked it.
You're welcome for that deep, thought provoking review.
