Hi everyone!

We are still basking in the success that was Quiet Lightning 6 (otherwise known as Neighborhood Heroes, v.1). But we’re not too busy to be excited about QL7, which is going to take place on Wednesday, July 7 @ Space Gallery. Not only is the SG going to be most excellent for our routine thrills … but the place is ours until midnite! Have any ideas what we should do between 9-12? Send em here.

We would love you to join us. We’re taking submissions through Wednesday, June 16. You get 3-8 minutes of poetry, fiction, personal statement … whatever acrobatic wordplay you favor. Also, have you seen the beautiful magazine we print every month, sPARKLE & bLINK? We would love to see your artwork on the cover. Major thanks to Liz Worthy—she did the artwork for the postcards and both covers of Issue 4. (Also, if we’re lucky, we might be able to convince Dawn Andres, who did design work last time, to repeat the favor. She did such a wonderful job). Same deadline: Wed, Jun 16.
