POPSICKLE 2011: From Concentrate

So POPSICKLE is happening! D. and I put it together last year, and we're resuming it this year -- it's a massive day of readings at Gowanus Ballroom, this fantastic hybrid space metalshop/gallery in Gowanus. Performers include the following:

Jason Helm | Dorothea Lasky | Paul Foster Johnson | Julia Guez | Roger Bonair-Agard | Jon Sands | Will Edmiston | Megafortress | EJ McAdams | Lonely Christopher | Ken L Walker | Becca Klaver | Angelina Dreem | Amy Jenkins | Courtney Ziegler | Jason Daniel Schwartz | Paul Legault | Carina Finn | Anna Fitzgerald | Chris Hosea | Ariana Reines | DJ Amourette . . . .

I know, right? Plus we have TONS of presses, magazines, and vendors (Supermachine | Lumberyard | No, Dear | Tea Party Republicans Press | Death Panel | Moonshot Magazine | Berl's Brooklyn Poetry Shop | BIRDS, LLC | Belladonna Books | Monk Books | Ugly Duckling Presse) tabling and donating prizes to the raffle at the end of the day.

I love this town's literary scene. <33333

Please check the Facebook invite. One hundred people are already coming. Are you one of them?
