Under the BQE Press invites the NYC writing and publishing community to help them celebrate their first year as an indie publisher at their favorite bar, which is as close to under the overpass as you can get – Mama Tried! Flash readings (under 5 minutes) from forthcoming and published novelists Judson Merrill, Brian Russ, Heidi Diehl, Leo Kouklanakis, and Stephen Aubrey. An all-vinyl eclectic mix of cosmic funk, Brazilian groove, and Afro-spiritual jazz courtesy of The Vinyl Historian. Hand-screen-printed merch for sale. Unsolicited writing prompts on every coaster. And super-cheap beer deals courtesy of Five Boroughs Brewery, plus birthday cake while supplies last! Hosted by founding writers-turned-aquisition-editors Lauren Belski and David Greenwood.
