SLAKE: The Dirty at The Last Bookstore

2012, what to say...well, as my old buddy Glenn has said/sung, "Let the Day Begin" "In My Grip". . .

And SO Mattson unscrews himself from hibernation and gets back down to biz -- interacting with people! -- AND no better way to fire up the new year than to howl out of the gate with the mighty SLAKE Friday, February 3rd, Two Thousand Twelve, 7pm, at The Last Bookstore downtown in the delicious crotch of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels!

COME DOWN and GET DIRTY with LUKE DAVIES, ANTONIA CRANE, LAUREN WEEDMAN, LARRY FONDATION, HARRY SHANNON & JOE DONNELLY, and JOSEPH MATTSON in advance awe of SLAKE: LOS ANGELES ISSUE NO. 4: "DIRT"

The Dirty

From Slake HQ:

"Step forward, announce your sin … and grab a drink.

Slake: Los Angeles and the Last Bookstore present The Dirty, an evening of readings from our forthcoming fourth issue—theme: “Dirt”—and confessions from the audience. Guests will be able to enter “confession booths,” where they can anonymously write down their deepest, darkest, dirtiest secret. Throughout the evening of readings, we’ll read your confessions to the group. Some people call this therapy. We call it fun.

The night’s dirty participants will include: Luke Davies (Candy, Interferon Psalms), Joseph Mattson (Empty the Sun), Antonia Crane (Black Clock, ZYZZYVA), Lauren Weedman (screen credits include Hung and The Daily Show), Larry Fondation (Unintended Consequences, Common Criminals), and the award-winning writing team of Harry Shannon (the Mick Callahan novels, The Hungry) and Joe Donnelly."
