Off-Track Blogging
Let others ponder if print is dead, undergoing psychiatric evaluation and toilet torture at Fort Jarvis, flopping around like a fish out of water in a music video, or entering the final warm-down stage before cryogenic freezing can preserve (along with Ted Williams) the thrill of watching it die for future generations. We haven't been paying attention to the battle of heavyweight mediums because we're too busy growing our hair out and buying breathable flannel for the upcoming grunge revival.
Not that we enjoyed the dicey-fuzz genre much the first time around but a special bond with Mudhoney was formed the day we listened to "This Gift" and imagined what it would be like to live inside a nitrous tank. Perhaps the soupy feeling of congested haze, or even water-soaked clothing, will be re-created when Elizabeth Spiers participates in two readings next week as the author of "Andrew Krucoff and the Amazing Paper Weblog" from the book anthology, Bookmark Now. Painful background info was covered here before.
But first, after an exclusive print mailing to 100 People Who Matter and a series of invitation-only brunch lectures from Old Saybrook to Eastham, we're [adverb] [adjective] to announce the official public release of The Other Page, Issue #3. Inside its PDF-bound pages you'll discover the Publishing Land of Misfit Boys & Girls: publicity manager fond of big asses but not a rump roast , an editorial gal who plays the bass and violin, production editor who commutes daily from Manhattan to Jersey, copy editor turned full-time pro blogger, a failed pro blogger, sunlighting web editor/moonlit DJ, and even a writer who's getting herself hardcovered.
To celebrate we extend an open invite to all for an after-work happy hour tomorrow, June 2nd from 6pm to 9pm at 12" Bar, on Essex at Houston. Lots of door prizes including DVDs I Wish I Returned To Columbia House A Long Time Ago, new books by familiar names I'll never get around to reading, Dodgeball stickers, leftover commas, and one lucky winner will receive two minutes of personalized comedy from my roommate Becca who coincidentally is DJing at the very same bar tonight with other sex-starved girls. I can't guarantee you'll get laid but I'm sure you'll get more chances if you go both nights and come early.
