Get Your Vermin On Tomorrow Night @ Mountain Bar
The vermin are back this weekend as Jim Ruland's must-attend night of readings, Vermin on the Mount, features four indie writers tomorrow at 8pm @ Chinatown's Mountain Bar:
- Jim Krusoe, who teaches fiction at Santa Monica College, will read from his just-out Girl Factory which we highlighted not so long ago for its wacky incoroporation of LA yogurt culture.
- Sean Carswell, novelist, short story writer and publisher, will read from Train Wreck Girl.
- Tosh Berman, publisher of Tam Tam books, will read from Boris Vian's The Dead All Have the Same Skin.
- Dicky Murphy, who writes for television, will read from his collection World Cup Eagle.
Indie writers + alcohol + celebratory cake? Embrace your inner vermin and enjoy.
