Jessica Max Stein Celebrates The Release of The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer,
Sunday, 1/10/10 3pm 

This event is a reading from Jessica Max Stein’s 84-page zine The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer. It’s a biography of the man behind such beloved characters as Statler, Beaker, Miss Piggy and Janice. Come watch over an hour of Muppet clips and learn about this tragically short-lived, hugely talented queer puppeteer with a wide range of talents.

So You Think You Have Nerves of Steel? Series Launch, Thursday, 1/14/10 7pm

The first in what will be a regular monthly lit series from the folks at THE2NDHAND (the2ndhand.com), wherein one featured writer a month riffs on the question in the reading’s title in whatever manner he or she deems appropriate. For this first installment, both THE2NDHAND and Chicago-performance-scene stalwarts Chris Bower and Jill Summers will be riffing with nerves of steel. They’ll be joined by the event’s host janitor Harold Ray (aka ACM fiction editor and THE2NDHAND coeditor Jacob Knabb), Requited Journal managing editor Amanda Marbais and a new issue of broadsheet. For more info about featured performers, go here.

Cindy St. John and Julie Strand, Friday, 1/15/10 7pm

Julie Strand lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is the Education Coordinator at Woodland Pattern Book Center.

The dancing girl press chapbook series was founded in 2004 to publish and promote the work of women poets and artists through chapbooks, journals, book arts projects, and anthologies. Spawned by the online zine wicked alice, dgp seeks to publish work that bridges the gaps between schools and poetic techniques–work that’s fresh, innovative, and exciting. The press has published over 50 titles by emerging women poets in delectable handmade editions.
