Triple Whammy Night - November 22nd

On Monday,November 22nd, at 6 p.m. march on down to the The Guilt below Chill Winston's in Gastown for an evening of readings from both books by Yours Truly (and Steve Didcote, co-author of Dreams From Purgatory. Enjoy also, interludes of music from Paracletus! my 26 song operetta. Two books to launch and a musical to introduce: by my reckoning that makes the night a triple whammy. And have a gander at the chalice full of pure silver coins under a radiant spotlight exciting one and all to decrypt the code strips on the cover of The Dead Sea Revelation. (see www.deadsearevelation.com) How's that for a Silver Lining?

And wear a fedora and get thyself a discount on each book, signed first editions and wrapped too if you like. "Perfect Christmas gifts." The first annual 'Fedora Night' in Vancouver harkening to the days when gentlemen across the entire country were tipping their brims to the lovely ladies strolling about in their form-fitting dresses billowing in an autumn breeze.

Also, soon, will occur for your listening pleasure a one hour radio programme entitled "Lights out!" An eclectic mix of our version of news and our brand of musical highlights. (As soon as I figure out this tinny gizmo aka audio recorder that only has 401,000 instructions, probably originally written in Japanese and then translated by East Indians and then whispered in code to us English cryptographers.) When all of that is unscrambled you, dear reader, may indeed hear it all right here... just be sure to turn everything else off, especially your tyrannical TV and lend us your virgin ears.

A pleasure to hear from my brother Roger advertising "wear purple day" in support of gay youth at risk of suicide from homophobic bullying. (I hope I was wearing purple that day.)

And if all goes according to Hoyle (that bewildering card shark), the 3rd hard copy of this e-zine will be circulating through Camel Post and by hand to pubs, homes and restaurants, among the lucky few. Keep your eyes peeled and lest you forget, chill under at The Guilt this November 22nd. Can't miss. Hang on to your hat! It's going to be a thrill.
