There's a fantastic literary event in Indianapolis tonight: the traveling show that is Artifice Magazine is appearing at Big Car Gallery, with readings from writers who appear in Issue 2. Details are here.
And if you miss tonight's show in Indy, fear not. There also are dates set for Baltimore, D.C., NYC, and Cambridge, Mass.
Wish I could go to any and all of these readings; the Issue #1 reading last February in Chicago was a blast. Back then, I was secretly 8 weeks pregnant, and I think one or two friends at the party *might* have noticed that instead of wine, I was drinking Orange Crush mixed with nothing, falling asleep on my feet despite the raucous readings, and later, the dance party. (Or as I seem to recall Tim Jones-Yelvington calling it, the Dance Movie.)
And four short days ago, our beautiful baby boy arrived in the world. I know he'd love to check out Artifice #2 at Big Car -- he is a very literary fellow, I can tell -- but perhaps is a little too new (and unpredictable) right now. We'll just have to wait for Issue #3, and hopefully the tour will come back our way.
