BARRELHOUSE BUZZ: Septebmer 2006: Welcome Back Edition
====================
Yo Barrelhouse People, Wow, it's been a long time. You might think we've been lazing around at our internship at Teen Vogue, sneaking into clubs, working the runway, catfighting with Kristin Cavalieri, and just generally enjoying life in The Hills. But you'd be wrong. We've been hard at work on big, bad Barrelhouse number 3, which is sitting in huddled masses around our printer's warehouse right this very minute, each smart, funny, cool, funky little copy just waiting for a Good Home. Won't you take a Barrelhouse home with you today? Which brings us to...
BIG BAD BARRELHOUSE THREE: It is almost here, soon available for purchase, and chock full of warm, barrelhousey goodness. Here's just a little sample of the stuff included in this issue: -- New fiction and poetry from people like Greg Ames, Barbara Daniels, Maureen Tolman Flannery, Ed Hardy, Catie Rosemurgy, J. Chris Rock, Wendy Wimmer, Melissa Yancy, and loads of talented people. -- Essays on why overuse of the word "rocks" does not, in fact, rock, and why American Idol doesn't remotely and most likely could never, ever rock. -- Interviews, we have interviews! David Barringer talks writing and "spiritual primitivism" with George Saunders, and we talk Swayze, Van Halen, and generally barrelhouse around the old barrelhouse with none other than pop observer Chuck Klosterman. -- Four poems on the topic of Ed Asner. Yeah, that's right. We said four poems about Ed Asner. -- The kinda spooky kinda cool and altogether amazing illustrated story "The Only Child." And all of that is, as we like to say, tied up in the kind of beautifully funky little package we hope you've come to expect from Barrelhouse. Ordering information coming soon. ====================
EVENTS: A few events coming down the pike for our Baltimore and DC peoples.
SEP 29 – OCT 1 Baltimore Book Festival: Come check out the Barrelhouse booth at the Baltimore Book Festival. We'll have steaming fresh copies of our latest issue for your reading and purchasing enjoyment. Note: we're sharing a booth with our friends from the fantastically named Pretend Genius Press (in case you’re looking for us in your program).
OCT 4: Wave Poetry Bus: At the Big Hunt at 1345 Conn. Ave NW in DC, 7 to 9:00 pm
What is a poetry bus, you might ask? "Stopping at 50 cities in 50 days, the Wave Books Poetry Bus Tour is the biggest literary event of 2006. Beginning September 4 and ending October 27, over one hundred poets, along with musicians, filmmakers and journalists, will participate as the bus traverses North America, bringing innovative poetry to big cities and small towns across the U.S. and Canada. Sponsored by Wave Books, the poetry bus will go more places with more poets reading more poems than was ever previously believed possible." Details here: http://www.poetrybus.com/07/10/hello-world/DC issue three launch party coming soon!Okay, that's it for now. Much, much more coming down the pike very soon.
