Temporarily Parting Shots

Ideational Content is about to go on vacation, but I wanted to blurb a few things before going:

Ariel Goldberg's West Oakland salon on Friday was packed, lots of fun and hot as fuck. Good reading by Erica Lewis and a short film by Jill Reiter, seemingly about coming of age and coming out and (wanting to be)ing Jewish(?), compellingly acted and attractively shot. Very glad to be invited- many thanks to Chad Lietz for relaunching his 13x13 to augment my little talk, and duly noted are David Harrison Horton and Erika Staiti.

Aimee Suzara has a chap out. I'm yet to get my copy, but she read brilliantly at Prosody Castle last year, so I expect good things. The publishing depends heavily on pre-sales, so drop in to fishing line and order a copy: http://www.finishinglinepress.com/2006newreleasesandforthcomingtitles.htm
Also, this message: "Save the date for the official East Bay book launch party on September 14, La Peña Cultural Center, Berkeley, CA! More details forthcoming and other locations TBA." (I'll update with news when I get it).

Finally, the A's are really fun to watch right now. Go out and see a game and keep them in Oakland, even if you have to firebomb Lew Wolfe's house and bulldoze Pier One in Jack London to get them a ball park in town.

Back in two weeks- enjoy my absence!
