Pontiac Quarterly

I was at Pontiac Quarterly yesterday night in the basement of The Drake Hotel on Queen West. Its a live magazine; authors read their articles live to the crowd. There's some live art and music, an advise column, classifieds, etc. I've been to a couple in the past, this one was by far the funniest. They were playing the movie Tremors in the background... that says a lot right there. The always magnetizing Downtown Cheryl Brown read a few diary exerpts, the most crowd pleasing one being about poo and peanut butter. Everyone laughs at poo. Ed Keenan, who writes the editorial column in Eye weekly that I got to illustrate not too long ago, read a written apology for his own sexually deviant behaviour. Good times. The next one is in April. I'll be there.
