dear all,
here's an event that might interest some of you... especially those
who live in the area...
I'm going to try and check it out and see if we can hook up with this
reading series for our own readings too...
there's another fun event at the Betalevel gallery at the bottom of
the email too.

>Swap Meet is extra special this month.
>
>First of all, it's the end of daylight savings time.  So on Saturday
>night, when you get that weird Betalevel time distortion feeling
>("hey, is it 2am again?")  it won't just be you -- it will be
>partially due to Congressionally sanctioned external reality.
>
>Also, Betalevel was recently described in the LA Weekly as "Best
>Sunken Lair For Techno-Geeks."  Which means that this month, someone
>might show up who knows how to network your Windows laptop.  And
>when that person does show up, we will make fun of them ("windoze!
>wtf! lol!").  We will do this, because techno-geeks are sometimes
>cruel. Especially when they're actually lit-nerdz in disguise.
>
>And most importantly, this is the Halloween Swap Meet.  So in
>addition to the usual piracy, karaoke and conviviality, there will
>be candy, pumpkin carving and costumes.  Yes, costumes.
>
>Now some might say that wearing a pirate costume to Swap Meet is
>"too easy."  But if enough people come dressed as pirates, then the
>people dressed as FBI agents won't know who they should taser ("is
>it a real pirate or an ironic pirate?").  Which means they'll just
>have to taser all of us.
>
>And when you right get down to it, isn't that what Swap Meet is all about?
>
>
>WHAT IS SWAP MEET?
>Swap Meet is a place for you to come with a special selection of
>your very most bestest most favoritest music so you can trade it
>with other actual human people for the special music that you've
>always wanted but didn't know existed. It's like social software,
>but replacing "software" with "beer."
>
>And then we sing!
>
>BRING:
>* Your singin' voice & dancin' shoes
>* media or device containing your favorite filez
>* PUMPKIN!
>* Dr1NkZ (or dollars of kindness)
>* An inner sense of joy in the face of our eroding cultural freedoms
