{EVENTS: KGB IN NYC}
Join us on January 5, 2007, from 7 to 9, to kick off the new year with an evening of readings from Barrelhouse issue three, at the KGB Bar in New York City. Come see/hear authors Greg Ames, Paul Hostovsky, Jennifer L. Knox, Joe Oestrich, Catie Rosemurgy, and Wendy Wimmer. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder at the image of a man giving Ed Asner a spongebath, you'll barrelhouse all night long. KGB Bar info here.

{SUBMISSIONS UPDATE}
We're now closed for everything but art. Sorry about that, but it's time for our long winter's nap, and when we wake up, we're planning to unveil a fancypants new online submissions system. We still need art and artists, though!

{FEATS OF STRENGTH}
Our ears are burning -- people are talking, and they're saying some pretty nice stuff. Stuff like "delivers perceptive writing and art in a well-designed format." Or "humor, kitsch, quirk and so much more under the surface." The Washington Post has even weighed in, saying Barrelhouse "has published the best four poems about
Ed Asner that I've ever read."

Studios 1, Acclaimed Writer/Director 0, Audiences: Screwed.
by Aaron Pease
Demonic possession is making a comeback in Hollywood, both benign (Tom Cruise possessing Katie Holmes's soul) and malignant (Mel Gibson snarling and contorting and railing against Jews and calling females "sugartits"...wait, what's that? He wasn’t possessed? Oh.).
