BARRELHOUSE BUZZ May 2006
Barrelhouse Takes New York Edition ====================
A quick update on upcoming Barrelhouse events for you. We'll get back with our regularly scheduled programming in a week or so, but for now, all you DC and NYC people, and anybody within driving distance of those two places (Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, PA people, we're looking at you), come on out to our upcoming Barrelhouse events: -- May 12, Take That Hill at the KBG in NYC--
May 20, literary karaoke at the Big Hunt in DC
TAKE THAT HILL AT THE KGB IN NYC: Movie watching and Barrelhousing. They're two great tastes that go great together, which is why Barrelhouse presents "Take that Hill," an evening of short movies and short stories at the KGB Bar in New York City on Friday, May 12 at 7 p.m. The event is totally free and open to the public.Here's what you get if you come:-- Stories about death metal, drug addled Japanese basketball teams, long nights at southern gas stations, and the perils of fathering the cool kid, all of which will be read by their authors, including David Barringer, Matt Bell, Justin Taylor, and Matt Kirkpatrick.-- Movies about dead cats, punk rock, European bread-chasers, and post-industrial small town Pennsylvania.-- Shit loads of revelry.
THE FICTION: The fiction on the bill first appeared in the print editions of Barrelhouse. "Cool" by David Barringer and "Metal Church" by Matt Kirkpatrick were published in Barrelhouse #1, while "White Lines and Headlights" by Matt Bell and "Ft. Smith, Arkansas" by Justin Taylor come from the recently released second issue, which will be available for purchase the night of the reading. It's also available right now by click here. http://www.barrelhousemag.com/issuetwo.html
THE MOVIES: The films on the program vary in style and tone. "An Impression: Dischord Records," gives a thirteen-minute overview of Washington's Dischord record label and includes concert footage as well as interviews with prominent members of the DC music community, including label co-founder Ian MacKaye. On a completely different note, "Dead Kitty" by Rachel Max is an homage (sort of) in song and animation to a not quite beloved family pet. Rounding out the movies are shorts by Bert Mains ("The T of Pennsylvania") and Andy Bely ("Bread Story").AND YOU! Tell your friends. Invite them along. Get drunk afterwards. Get drunk beforewards. God knows we will. It's FREE, people. In the meantime, here;s all the info you’ll need:--Take That Hill NYC--Friday May 12 @ 7 pm-- KGB Bar-- 85 East 4th Street-- NYC-- Free!!!-- http://www.myspace.com/take_that_hill-- take_that_hill@yahoo.com ===================
KARAOKE IN DC: MAY 20
Get ready for the second LitMag Karaoke, May 20 at the Big Hunt in DC. All proceeds go to benefit Barrelhouse and other worthy area literary magazines. Get your details here: http://www.webdelsol.com/Karaoke/
LET X: DC people: before you do anything stupid, quick, go see Let X, the new play by Barrelhouse Poetry Editor Gwydion Suilebhan. No less an authority than the Washington Post says Let X is "an agreeable Pirandellian doodle...70 minutes' worth of madcap reality-bending." Let X is playing at the Mead Theater Lab at Flashpoint, just a few steps from the Gallery Place Metro, and you have four more chances to catch it (Thurs -- Sat at 8:00 pm, Sunday at 2 pm). Here's more info: http://www.taffetypunk.com/shows.html
