The fantastic Red Eye in Deadwood Saginaw will be the setting for a Hungry Rats themed literary evening, Saturday November 13th, 7-9 PM, 205 N. Hamilton.

This event has been a long time in the coming, which is why I’m spending this much time gushing about it. We tried to create a journal starting in November 2007, and it’s finally coming to fruition. That this launch coincides with the AWP Conference (when all sorts of writers from all over the country are in Chicago), and Front 312′s monthly event, and Friday the 13th, and Valentines Day is like a grand conjunction of the stars.
Check out the Front 312 poster:
The launch is going to be hot, but if you can’t make it, the Journal will be available online from www.gothicfunk.org as of Friday the 13th.
In case you’re wondering, Gothic Funk Parties look like this:
and this:
Let it be acknowledged that the popular holiday song Walkin’ in a Winter Wonderland is about a pair of erstwhile adolescents acting out a reckless plot to elope from under the oppressive eyes of their unaccepting families and despite the malicious cruelty of their peers.
It’s all in the lyrics.
It requires no explanation.
