Coming Attractions

Just wanted to let you all know about a couple of things going on this weekend, which, if you're local to NYC, you are going to definitely want to attend.

First off, the lovely Nicole Steinberg is graciously allowing this non-grad student to crash her Earshot Graduate Reading Series this Friday night. Click here for all the scrumptious details. Admission is six bucks, but you get your first beer free. If you saw me read at Barbes last month, you probably heard me read chapter one of the novel-in-progress. You can hear chapters two and three (in a slightly rough but nevertheless existent format) on Friday.

And then on Sunday, Nicole is graciously reading at my series (well, mine and Robyn's, anyway), at Barbes. All our readers are awesome on Sunday. To wit:

Nicole Steinberg is a native of Queens, New York and a current MFA student in poetry at The New School. She was recently nominated to appear in Best New Poets 2005 and her poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in Narcolepsy Arms, Half Drunk Muse and others. She is the founder, curator and host of the Earshot reading series in downtown New York City, works as a publishing assistant for BOMB Magazine, and writes a music column for idothisidothat.com. In her off hours, she enjoys amaretto sours, retail therapy, and Law and Order: SVU.

Mitch Levenberg has published short stories and essays in such journals as Fiction Magazine, The Common review, New Delta Review, The Cream City Review, Fine Madness and The St. Anne's Review. His collection of short stories, "Principles of Uncertainty and Other Constants," will be out some time this winter. He teaches writing at N.Y.U. and St. Francis College.

Joel Keller likes to write while he's bored at work, which means he writes all the time. He passes time by making attempts at writing humor, by throwing his opinion around to any editor who will publish him, and by eating at greasy spoons and writing about them. His writing has appeared in Salon, The Black Table, and The Village Voice. It's also appeared in The New York Times, but since it was the New Jersey section, no one at this reading has seen any of it. Lately, he's been writing about TV for the blog TV Squad, so he hopes to one day be able to write a big-screen flat-panel TV off on his taxes.

And as always, there will be cookies. Oh yes there will.

Girl scout's honor - bittysoda headquarters will get a thorough housecleaning this weekend.
