851 WANTED: ROUGH TRADE

Sun, 05 May 2013 02:54:00 -0400

This is a photograph of Alex Dimitrov. Alex is a famous young poet. If you are a fag, Alex would really like to meet you when he reads his poems at The Squat on Friday, May, 24, 2013. ‘Would really like to meet you’ is a euphemism. Queers always welcome. Straight dudes who are confused and cute and likely to force the issue with Alex are also very welcome.

The Squat, 849 Haight Street, San Francisco. 8PM.

Please note: The editors do not condone the use of condoms.

“But it’s true, I have given some memorable and well-received readings around town since then, and the candlelit reading in San Francisco in September, which was orchestrated by the panting and moaning of two lesbians writhing around on the floor in the corridor, was a lot of fun.” John Tottenham, interview, HTMLGIANT, November 21, 2012.

“I consider the San Francisco reading mentioned (‘which was orchestrated by the panting and moaning of two lesbians writhing around on the floor in the corridor’) to be the pinnacle of my reading experiences.” Mike Kitchell, facebook comment, November 21, 2012.
