One of the things I’ve loved best about starting Replacement Press has been the opportunity to partner with some really cool people–our dear friends at Books & Bars come to mind, and the dynamic trio of Paper Darts, of course.
Now, for our last big blowout of the summer, we’re harnessing some serious literary synergy to bring you The Quickies! It’s a 4-stop, midwestern, 100% FREE literary tour in which each of the readers has a mere 5 minutes to read a complete work of prose–no exceptions, no exerpts, no cheating, and no mercy! We’re especially excited about this one because we get to team up with some of the coolest literary outfits around, including Featherproof Books, Hobart, Dzanc Books, Books & Bars, and more.
The tour comes to the Twin Cities on August 28. We’ll be in the Clown Lounge (lower level of the Turf Club) starting at 7. No cover, just readers, drinks, and scary pictures of clowns. We’ll be featuring local favorites John Jodzio, Brian Judd, and Eric Vrooman, plus guests Aaron Burch, Jac Jemc, Amelia Gray, Lindsay Hunter, Mary Hamilton, and Blake Butler. Deets and RSVP here.
Other stops on the tour include Madison, Iowa City, and Chicago.
Well, this is exciting. I will actually be back in MN that week. Count me in!
That’s fantastic! If you do make it, please be sure to introduce yourself…we’d love to meet you!
