After our mystical triumph in the boxcar we’re headed to the new Alley Cat Books for our show on Monday, May 7th and truly hope you can join us. This is our second time in a bookstore (here to revisit or scope out the first) and we have an entirely different (and perhaps our most vestal) show for you this month.
Curated by Nicole McFeely and Evan Karp, our lineup features 11 authors, 8 of whom have never performed at Quiet Lightning before. All 3 of the others have only read with us once. Also, several of the pieces we are proud to feature this month have been submitted before (and a couple more than once). Finally, we had to ‘reject’ several people this month because they included their names on their submissions. Don’t do that! Our process truly is blind.
Without further ado, click on the art by our beloved artist Agneta Falk, whose work you can currently see at The Emerald Tablet (though hurry because it is selling out!), to see this month’s readers and stalk them until their reading day.
We’re very excited for this one. Alley Cat is being gracious enough to keep its doors open (they usually close at 7), so the space is essentially ours. The show will start at 7:30 and end by 9, though probably a bit earlier. As with our last show, we will have delicious beer from Lagunitas Brewing Company at only $3 a cup, so come take advantage of us and let’s thank each other in the morning.
