Seattle Spit @ The Wild Rose

Seattle Spit is hosted at Seattle's one (1!) lesbian bar and it's billed as a "queer/trans" reading, but don't go see it because of that. Go see it because the people scheduled to read this month are amazing.

Bobby Anderson will be reading. Anderson has been published in Ploughshares (which is great), Threepenny Review (also great) and the Seattle Review (not that great), and I'm sure this is going to be fantastic material (not sure what it is, though). David Massengil, who has had short stories in The Raven Chronicles, 3 A.M. Magazine and N.O.L.A. Spleen and nonfiction work in the American Book Review and Seattle Weekly, will also read.

Special guests Ann Tweedy and Betsy Iverson will speak to the faithfull from their anthology I'm Home: What It's Like to Love a Woman. There's also an open-mic portion of the evening (look out). Festivities begin at eight on Thursday at the Wild Rose.
