Jake Morrow got his own personal blog all started up. Check it out, it will feature Jake’s writing from NEST and beyond. Posting in the third person is counter intuitive.

The release went awesome.

Thanks for the great show Jake you glorious, voluptuous, tumescent, bastard-

Come out the magpie and pick up your copy of the gutterbird NEST!

Stella Jean and Dylan Spense will be playing music, there’ll be poetry and short stories read as well as comedy and a theater!

I will also be reading a poem.

Drunk.

(To compensate for my crippling social anxiety.)

Come by to the opening of a great show featuring artists’ depictions of those tortured souls gone too soon.  May 6th, 2012 at Leslie Jones Restaurant.

The word penis appears 120 times in the next issue of NEST. Wanna know why? Stop by Magpie on May 1st for your copy of NEST and some more Fowl Words from gutterbird.

Awesomely yours,

Saturn
