Last night Dawn Raffel, David Peak, Edward Mullany, and Ana Bozicevic got together and talked to each other for our first Soda Series discussion. It was an intimate gathering in a comfortable room, and I haven’t had such an enjoyable Monday night in a long time. We’ll be doing it again in July, and every other month after that. Here are some pictures I took with my phone. (I’m going to be sure to record these from now on.)

Finally got to meet the exceptional Edward Mullany last week here in Brooklyn, and he told me about his idea to launch a postcard series from Matchbook. Great idea. He’s already announced it on the site. Each card will have a literary work or a visual piece on the front, and a critical explanation on the back. I’ve really been enjoying reading the critical apologia that accompany the pieces Edward’s been posting on Matchbook.  Go here, give them 3 bucks (that’s a deal), and get art sent right to your old school mailbox. And send them work if you have it.
