For some reason, two big events didn't make it into the print edition's readings calendar this week that I want to tell you about. Conveniently, both events are happening at the Hugo House—one on Monday night and one on Tuesday night. First of all, on Monday night, Genius Award-shortlisted cartoonist David Lasky and his writing buddy Frank Young will be debuting their brand new book, The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song. It's a comic book biography of the first family of country music. Here's a Carter Family song from 1927:

This party will feature a cartoon slide show, music, and a chance to talk to two people who are presumably now among the country's foremost Carter Family experts.

And then, on Tuesday night, former books intern Catherine Smyka has founded a new quarterly journal called T(OUR) Magazine. In it, she will publish literary fiction, essays, poetry, and artwork by queer and queer-friendly artists. This is a party to celebrate the first issue of T(OUR), with readings, raffles, food, and a "big gay dance party." Copies of the magazine will be on sale at the event. You probably don't want to miss this.
