Videos From One-Year Anniversary Party

Cole Sarar has a great new blog called Minnesota Microphone that is sure to be a lit blog to watch. There is a nice post up over there about the anniversary party, there are photos and videos of all the readers and Paul Engels performing. You can see the post here.

There is a small photo gallery of the night here as well.

Friday's Reading

Thanks to everyone who turned out on Friday in St. Paul for our One-Year Anniversary Party. It was great. I, personally, had a great time, and the readers and band were all fantastic. We're going to be posting pictures very soon of the whole event, so check back to relive all the fun you had (or missed). If you have any photos please send them over to us or let us know where we can find them online (you can e-mail us at indigestmag [at] gmail [period] com).

For now you can see a great photo of Coffee News and a cool one of Lech Harris reading over at The Minnesota Microphone.

Reading Tonight!!!!

The One-Year Anniversary Reading is tonight!!!

Coffee News Cafe in St. Paul
Featuring:
Peter Bognanni
Lech Harris
Meggie Elder

and music by Crack in the Damn

It's free. And it's going to be great. Come join us for a beer, some music, some words, some celebration.

Also, we were featured in Rake Magazine's Secret's of the City today, as an event to go to. So, if that doesn't convince you I don't know what to do. Unless you don't live in Minneapolis or St. Paul. Then you don't have to come, I guess.

One-Year Anniversary Reading Update: Peter Bognanni Added to the All-Star Line-Up

Hey everyone,

We're very excited that our good friend Peter Bognanni has agreed to read at our anniversary reading on Friday, December 19. Peter will be joining Lech Harris and Meggie Elder, as well as Crack in the Damn, which is the musical incarnation of those fine young gentlemen Paul Engels, Ryan Thompson, and Dan Lehn.

Should be a good time had by all.

Here's a little more info on Peter:

Peter Bognanni is a native Iowan, and a former student of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. His first novel, The House of Tomorrow is forthcoming from Amy Einhorn Books (Putnam/Penguin). His short fiction and humor pieces have appeared in Gulf Coast, The Bellingham Review, McSweeney's Internet Tendency, Monkeybicycle, and Stop Smiling Magazine. His work was listed in the "100 Distinguished Stories of 2006" in The Best American Short Stories 2007, edited by Stephen King, and he is 2008 Pushcart Prize nominee. In addition to writing fiction and nonfiction, he is also a screenwriter. He was a quarter finalist for the Nicoll Fellowship in Screenwriting in 2007.

Impressive.

Our New Flier & The Antlers

Check out our nice flier for the first reading in the InDigest 1207 series. This was designed by Peter Silberman, who has a great band named The Antlers. They are playing a few shows in the next week on the east coast, if you happen to be on the right-hand side of the country you should check them out. They are playing on the 16th at the Cake Shop in New York with some Minneapolitans named Dark Dark Dark who are also really great.

That's all.

InDigest out.

1 Night 1 Flight

Remember tomorrow is the last day you have to get in any submissions to the 1night1flight criticism contest with the extended deadline through InDigest. Their deadline has passed, you have till tomorrow to tell them that InDigest sent you and still have a chance and getting your criticism published and win the $100 publication prize. That sounds worth it to me.

Stay tuned for more InDigest very soon.

RSS Feed

After a few requests and suggestions we have finally added an RSS feed to the blog. It's much easier than the standard newsletter we send out (which you can get by sending an e-mail to indigest.newsletter [at] gmail [period] com). There it is over there, just to your right. You can do the regular RSS reader, or enjoy e-mail emissions every so often. With all the alliteration actualizing aqui, how could you suspend serendipitous subscription? What?

Sam Osterhout
Jess Grover
6pm-10pm
@ (Le) Poisson Rouge
New York, NY

InDigest Magazine is proud to announce a new reading series, bringing
together new and established voices for a night of reading, drinks and
entertainment. In the first installment, Poets Ada Limon and Jess Grover will be
joined by short story writer and humorist Sam Osterhout (of the Lit 6
Project). In addition to reading their own
work, authors will read the work of other authors who have informed
their work, made them want to write, inspired a moment of brilliance,
or showed them how they don't want to write.

Please join us at (Le) Poisson Rouge for these amazing writers.
Drink, listen, and be merry.

All attendees will be able to listen to the writers and enjoy the fine
gallery space, currently featuring artists Chuck Close & Devorah
Sperber, and join in the happy hour specials all night.

Prior to the first installment of InDigest 1207 we will be having a
very special One-Year Anniversary reading in St. Paul at Coffee News
Cafe. Featured readers will include Lech Harris and Meggie Elder, with
music by Crack in the Damn (Paul Engels, Ryan Thompson, and Dan Lehn). Please join us in St. Paul for a
celebration of one year of InDigest.
