September handout flyer, v1.

Posted on 2012-08-30 at 02:03 by montsamu

While I'm soon to pull the trigger on the full September newsletter, here's the handout flyer of highlights for September and early October. It's a busy month ahead!

Update: Corrected an inaccurate listing. Andy Duncan's reading at NCSU is on Sep 12 at 7:30, not Sep 19 at 7. See you there!

(Don't print the JPG! There's a handout-2012-september-v1 (color) and handout-2012-september-v1-bw (grayscale) PDF for that!)

Friday quick updates, August 10

Posted on 2012-08-10 at 16:14 by montsamu

Couldn't make it out to Flyleaf for the Michael J. Sullivan and T.C. McCarthy reading? I'm absolutely stoked to remind folks that Calvin Powers captured the readings on video for all to see. Thank you so much, Calvin! And thanks to the 40 or so folks who came to the event, whether from far away (Sullivan's recap of the event mentions a family from Baltimore!), nearby, or somewhere in-between. (You're not nobody, Teresa Frohock!)

Second, some new events have been scheduled since the August newsletter went
