Boston Area Poetry Event

Hello Bootstrappers!

This is just a friendly reminder of the event we are hosting April 30th. Much of the information is the same as the 1st email and the hyperlinks should work. Note the addition of Clark Coolidge into the line-up of readers and for those of you that will be in Lowell during the day, there is information about a one day exhibit of Kerouac’s paintings at the bottom of the email.

We are hosting a Benefit at Evos Arts for our non-profit publishing adventure and would like you to come.

Where: Evos Arts 98 Middle Street, Lowell, MA 01852 978.441.9906

When: Saturday April 30th 2005

There will be a gallery filled with artwork for your ocular enjoyment, many pieces for sale, a silent auction of fine art and random goodies, a full bar, a raffle, and some mood music. For those of you that are thinking that this might make a great date— public displays of affection are tolerated, especially slow dancing to soul music and random high fives.

Feature Artists include: Zippy Corning, Derek Fenner, Ryan Gallagher, and Kerri McGill.

The doors will open at 3:00 p.m. Silent auction and gallery bar will start at 5:00 p.m. Silent auction will close at 9:00 p.m. Winning bids will be announced shortly after.
