Sybil's Garage reading at Think Coffee
Wednesday night, still hung over from watching the returns on Tuesday night, we found our way to a Village hangout called Think Coffee for a reading of three writers from Matthew Kressel's small press mag Sybil's Garage (which yours truly has had the honor of being published in).
Think Coffee is a great example of a modern coffee house; if 30 years ago it would have been filled with people talking, today it's filled with Mac owners busily blogging and texting and googling. Seriously, the last place I saw this many MacBooks in one room was in the press room at the CES trade show in Las Vegas. But enough of that.
The reading took place in a space just beyond the bar, and it turned out to be a great space. People quieted down when the readings began, and everything went very well. Veronica Schanoes read an excellent, if still unpublished, story about a gray world and a woman who rebels; Mercurio D. Rivera read an essay from Sybil's Garage about paddle ball and the folks he used to play with; Rick Bowes read an unpublished story about working in the NYU library among some interesting and magical characters. All good.
I took some pictures while there; took most of them without a flash, so they're a bit grainy, but still not too bad. You can find them at my Picasa Web Album.
