jun 4 10 » neighborhood heroes, v.1

We pretty much filled the Elbo Room up and kept it pin-drop.

We’re still ringing.

But that’s how it usually goes.

“Definitely one of the best literary events I’ve ever been to.” — lots of people

After an event like that, there will probably be Quiet Lightning: Neighborhood Heroes, v.2 about 6 months from now … which will mark our 1 year anniversary.

Until then, we are back to submissions: the deadline—for readings and for art—is Wed Jun 16.

The show will be on Wed, Jul 7 @ Space Gallery.

We have both the bar downstairs and the gallery up from 7-12.

What do you think will happen?

We’ll also be back down to $3.

Tell your friends to sign up to our blog for the monthly call for submissions, announcement of readers, reminder, and video recap.

Get ready everyone! The big show is a week from tomorrow (Fri, June 4) @ Elbo Room. We’re starting @ exactly 7pm—to be more precise, Mr. Jon Longhi is starting exactly @ 7! You do not not not want to miss it! Below is the order [for those who don’t know, we forego introductions to allow for more of the important stuff—fiction, poetry!—and to make sure everyone knows who everyone is we print these postcards with the lineup on them]. Artwork courtesy of Liz Worthy (who runs Bikram Writing, which you should also check out!). Here is a brief description of Quiet Lightning for the uninitiated.

Really, what’s not to like? For only $5, it’s the best deal on June 4.
