Reading Tonight

There are a whole bunch of events going on tonight, including a family survival guide and a juicing master and some other events I'm going to talk to you about right now.

At the University Book Store, Jesse Reklaw signs The Night of Your Life, in which he turns people's dreams into cartoons. He's the Slow Wave guy. My favorite dream comics are Rick Veitch's Rare Bit Fiends, especially this one where he adapts a dream that was talked about by the 3 Stooges' Moe Howard.

UPDATE: In the comments, —MC writes:

Don't forget, the signing at U Bookstore also includes Kaz Strepek, the creator behind the brilliant Mourning Star comic series. And ladies, he's single.

Max Power reads at Town Hall from America's Nuclear Wasteland: Politics, Accountability, and Cleanup . I'm sorry, but I can't resist posting this:

And lastly, and most importantly, there's the PowerPoint-Off at the Rendezvous. Doug Nufer and Matt Briggs fight to determine the future of the Hugo House once and for all*. I wrote all about it yesterday. If you've never seen Nufer or Briggs read, you should go to this. They're both super-entertaining, and it's always fun to see what creative types manage to do with PowerPoint (or some open source PowerPoint-type clone.) This is obviously the reading of the night.

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.

* Results will actually have no bearing on the real Hugo House whatsoever, but it still should be entertaining.

"Max Power"?

Who is the juicing master? Are we talking wheatgrass or roids?

Paul Constant was actually in my dreams last night, as were a number of Sloggers. The others make sense, with all the calendar stuff, but Paul's appearance was slightly confusing. Perhaps because the Kindle shot was occasionally referred to as "Paul Constant's Nightmare." Or maybe I just shouldn't check Slog before bed.
