As we left our heart in Minneapolis (no offense, SF!), we thought best to retrieve it in a summer month, which is why we're making a glorious, talent-rich return to the Twin Cities (and more specifically Aster Cafe) for an unforgettable night of literary and comedic lore-making!
The night will feature a breathtaking trio of judges, including music-makers Jeremy Messersmith (The Alcatraz Kid & The Reluctant Graveyard) and performative mastermind Mark Mallman (City Pages' Best Live Artist, 2010), along with FM107's Colleen Kruse!
They'll oversee a brilliant foursome, including recent Minnesota Book Award champ Lightsey Darst (author of Find the Girl), Best American Short Story 2009 includee Ethan Rutherford, young-adult fictioneer Geoff Herbach (author of Stupid Fast), and poetess Jessica Fox-Wilson (author of Blameless Mouth).
Hosted by LDM creator Todd Zuniga. Produced by Sarah Moeding.
Cost: $8 — tickets available at the door.
