from stephanie young....

You're invited to a book party and reading in celebration of what Dennis Cooper calls "one of the most important novels of our time."

That's right: THE LETTERS OF MINA HARKER is being re-released by the University of Wisconsin Press with a new foreword by Dennis Cooper. You can go here for more information on the book:

http://www.wisc.edu/wisconsinpress/books/3736.htm

And then you can come over on Saturday night, November 6, for the party and readings by Dodie and Kevin.

Note: There *won't* be a chiropractor doing adjustments at this reading, but there WILL be a very small film crew. Red Queen Productions is making a documentary about straight women and gay marriage, and they'll be here all the way from Canada to film for a section on Dodie and Kevin. If you don't want to appear on film, just let the filmmakers know when you arrive.

THE DETAILS:

Saturday, November 6
7:00 Potluck
8:00 Readings
@ Stephanie Young's house
434 36th Street
Oakland, 94609

FROM 580 EAST:
Take the Broadway/Webster exit and stay in the right lane towards Webster. As you loop off the exit, go right at the stop sign, under the underpass. 36th is your first left. My house is approx. 5 houses down on your right. (see house description)

DRIVING IN THE EAST BAY:
36th runs parallel to MacArthur. Cross-streets are Telegraph and Webster. It's behind Mosswood park - email me if you need more specific directions.

WALKING FROM BART:
I'm within walking distance of MacArthur BART. Go out the back of the parking lot and take a right onto Telegraph. At the light (MacArthur) cross to the other side of the street. Continue down Telegraph. 36th is the second left. Walk up the street, my house is near the top on your left side.

HOUSE DESCRIPTION FOR EVERYONE:
It's a white/cream colored house. We are in the lower flat, so *do not go to the front door of the house*. Instead, walk up the driveway to the right of the house, our door is to your right, up a few grey cement steps behind a red piece of wood. You'll see a shed at the end of the driveway which is how you'll know you're in the right place. I'll put up some signs, too.
