Granted, I come to this subject with a slight bias. I am the editor-in-chief of the magazine in question, and I helped put this event together. But what can I say: it’s a launch party on the lake, in the summer time, with tiki torches and live music and hot dogs! You should come out! Really!

Gothic Funk: Not just for funky goths.

As it turns out this isn’t just a literature-only journal. Submissions are entered in three categories: Images, Sounds, and Words, so not only do you have a collection of (in this case seven) brilliant poems, short stories, and creative non-fiction, but you’ll also find paintings, photographs, songs, and, in this issue, a costume.

Presenting artists are: Elisabeth Blair, Katrina Blasingame, Elizabeth Bowman, Spencer Dew, Dion Mindykowski, Cecilia Pinto and Megan Williamson, Luka Vardiashvili, and Richard Whaling.

The complete list of artists published in issue #2 is: Elisabeth Blair, Katrina Blasingame, Elizabeth Bowman, Brian Chih-Chiang Lo, Spencer Dew, Meridith Halsey, Sally Hartzell, Alex Lippard and Roger Sprau, Sean Mahoney, Dion Mindykowski, Nova Moturba, Cecilia Pinto and Megan Williamson, Jasmine Robinson, Kamila Rymajdo, and Sonette Steyn, Richard Whaling, and Susan Widdicombe.

$10 gets you in, a meal (pop, hot dog (meat or veggie), and chips, and a copy of the issue #2 CD-ROM. For an additional $5 there’ll be copies of issue #1 while supplies last, and, well, more details and RSVP at gothicfunk.org.
