June
finds us celebrating the first offering
from
Dust-Up, a
new, independent publisher in Los Angeles.
They
are a band of friends hoping to create
a natural habitat for writing and art.
Won't you join them?
Contributors Aimee Bender, Caley
O'Dwyer, June
Melby
(www.junemelby.com),
and Phil
Hay himself
will be on hand to read and revel.
The featured visual artist for the night is Matt
Manfredi. We will suck down some Whiskey Sours,
while away an hour or two with a wordy parlor game,
and be graced with robot poetry. The password is
Torito.
