Shirley Jackson Awards Benefit reading tonight in NYC
Nick Kaufmann sums it up better than I ever could:
"Tonight is the Shirley Jackson Awards benefit reading at the KGB Bar! Starts at 7 PM, $5 door charge (that's the benefit part) and probably a delicious Chinese dinner afterward for those who can stick around. There is also the rumor of homemade cookies, but if they're baked by Merricat Blackwood, you may want to avoid them.
The KGB Bar, not sane, stands by itself above the Crane Theater, holding the smell of spilled beer in; it has stood so for fifteen years and might stand for fifteen more. I will be there tonight, so that whatever walks there won't have to walk alone."
I'll be hosting our 9 readers, all of whom will be reading from the Jackson oeuvre. It's possible that members of her family will be attending so please behave ;-)

We're actually thinking of holding another raffle this winter to raise money for the Jacksons!
