Killing Of Miss Argentina

Yes, I know there has been a gap ‘tween blogs – I wish I had a legitimate excuse but I don’t really. Other than the fact I’ve not bought anything new of late nor received anymore wonderful ‘care’ packages and I guess work has kept me busy. (Oh and I moved house so everything is in boxes. Does that count as an excuse?) Anyway, I haven’t been totally slack. For those who live in this fair city of Adelaide there is a book launch on Thursday 26th May at Jive 181 Hindley Street West. The book is an anthology called ‘WASTE’ put out by Paroxysm Press and I have a (long) short story in it. I’m in extremely good company too with the likes of Luke Davies, Hop Dac and Shane Jesse Xmass amongst others. The launch kicks off at 8pm with readings from Miss Jessie, Kerryn Tredrea, Hop Dac, Martin Downey and myself plus music from Home For The Def. Hop and Martin are coming over from Melbourne to read so get your arse out of the easy chair and come on down. The Ministry Of Shit Sound System will be pumping out the best in drum’n’noise, crash’n’burn, scratch’n’sniff for your drinking/dancing entertainment to finish off the evening. All this for a gold coin donation! (and of course the chance to be the first on your block to own a copy of Waste.) So I haven’t been totally lazy honest… and when the bloody novel is finished you can come to that launch. So, Karl, see you there Thursday?
