Velvet Park recap

We had a great Velvet Park reading at Three of Cups last night. Patricia Silva (https://twitter.com/silvisms/) live tweeted some photos from the event. And yeah, I know I sound like an old man when I talk about twitter.

OG book thug Corey Eastwood, on the mic, teaching us about pain.

By the way, this essay of Corey's still knocks me dead.

Update: VP has posted a bunch more photos of the event, by Katina Douveas, on their site.

Velvet Park Media Reading 5/15

I am excited to be curating the second installment of Velvet Park Media's monthly reading series. This reading will take place at Three of Cups in the East Village; 83 First Avenue @ Fifth Street, NYC. Reading begins at 7:30. Wednesday May 15th.

The theme of the reading is "Limits of Communication." This theme was inspired by a conversation I had with Patricia Silva at her recent solo show.

Readers will include Corey Eastwood, Josh Gardner, and Catherine Tung. There will also be a special appearance by Dandelion Fiction.

On another note, I have been spending a lot of time in the past couple weeks helping to edit the next print issue of Keep This Bag Away From Children. Look out for that in June; it's gonna be a doozy. KTBAFC was recently written up by the Bard student paper. When they quote "Nader," they don't mean "Ralph Nader," they mean me, Ben Nadler.
