happenings: WSSD hosts Stevie Edward's Chapbook Release Party

straight from the face-eating-book invite:

On March 26th, West Side School for the Desperate (3608 W. Wrightwood) is hosting Stevie Edwards' release party for her first chapbook, Pain Needs to Remember (tiny house, 2011).

Doors open at 7 pm, show starts promptly at 8 pm.

If you show up late, on top of being a bit of a douche, you will also risk missing part of the phenomenal line up of opening poets:
...Roger Bonair-Agard
Marty McConnell
JW Basilo
Benjamin Clark
John Paul Davis

After the show, Stevie will be selling copies of her chapbook for $9. They are very pretty and have naked ladies on them. You know you want to buy one. Everyone is also welcome to stay after the show and throw back a few libations (if over 21).

Attendees are encouraged to bring wads of cash to generously donate to West Side School for the Desperate, to stay lubricated at the cash bar (beer, whiskey, wine), to buy Stevie's book, and to throw money at all the hotness about occur on the mic.
