Current Issues
(dialating the traditionally-accepted chronological window of the word 'current')

Issue #10 - oddysey

So, Stationaery is done. Fin. That's it. Stationaery is dead; long live Stationaery.

Actually, we might throw another event sometime, maybe even compile another issue. But don't hold your breath. Instead, think about how swell and satisfying the last launch was, at Club Lambi, featuring KABOOM and, happily, The SunSpot Orchestra, a 6-person Klezmer ensemble that brought everyone to their dancin' feet and spun some hey-nani-na. It was th'best prom/barmitzvah I've ever been to. Club Lambi is on an upswing, that's for sure, what with their pink-and-blue poofy curtains.

And, the poetry: readers to thank: Vince Tinguely, Jordan NA Fouts, Sherwin Tjia + Patricia S., Jen* Goldman, Melissa Reiter, Samantha Mirlesse, Ilya Zaychik and me again, Danny Spitzberg. Thanks! Special thanks for special folks.

Issue #9 - ...now you're getting cold feet

Named after a line in an old email. Is that OK? Generally? Issue Nine was launched at Main Hall, with Mr. Vladimir and always-the-crowd-pleaser KABOOM, with Tessa and the Bear Cave(s). What can I say? Oh, right, Jon 'Abelman' Nussbaum read during the intermission, paused, realized someone was paying attention, muttered "Oh, someone's there", and started over because it was possible (he feared) some of his words were missed. I forget what happened next.

Issue #8 - Infinite Secrets

Bigger and better than ever, the last launch was a phenomenal evening of jazz and poetry. Thanks go to the following readers: Aliya Pabani, Jon Nussbaum, Matt Petit, Noemi Khondo, Greg Santos, Sherwin Tjia, Matt Smith, Ilya Zaychik and me, D.A. Spitzberg. Thanks! Also, of course, Patricia was a gracious hostess and lady for lending a friend her loft full to the brim with 175 people (breaking all the fire codes known to man). Adam Kinner and company put down jazz supreme before, between, and after the poetry, and a few anonymous girls (wo)manned the (practically open) bar. Thanks to them too.

Regrets to the one who could not come to hear the Love Story of J. Alfred Prufrock.

Lucky issue #7 - The Story of the Last Bike Courier in the Mid-West
 >Movie time...

I think we've out-done ourselves with Lucky Issue 7. Thank you to everyone who came out to see the launch, to see John Lennox, and Lil' Andy. Everyone who did not make it will be hearing about it, both from me and from everyone else, and probably the whispers in the crowds, too. You can click their names to go to their site to try to buy their music, because they rock balls, as someone put it. The venue was extremely gracious, so thanks to La Sala Rossa).

Also, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly," and "Dead Man" played on the ceiling, silently and totally out of proper proportion, to disorient and entertain people (watching it was like being 8 years old and sitting on the floor in front of the first row in the movie theater). Thank you, Jen, from the bottom of my saturated heart.
We are truly lucky people.
