Greetings, Edsters!

With summer here and the quick approach of Independence Day, we thought wheelbarrow races would be a perfect fit for our June event. Unfortunately, our small Ed test audience disagreed. Instead…

• What: Evening Happy Hour
• When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 26
• Where: Blue Monkey Lounge, 1318 Cobb Ln. S., [map]
• Why: 10 yummy martinis are only $5
• RSVP: birmingham@ed2010.com

Ed2010, ed2010.com, is a networking group for aspiring magazine editors who want to reach their dream jobs by the year 2010.

As long as this rain continues to hold off, we’ll be at the tables outside.

See you there,
Kathleen and Carla Jean

The evening of Friday, Sept. 7, THE2NDHAND, Birmingham and Chicago’s broadsheet and online magazine for new prose writing, will host a reading in downtown Birmingham featuring four showcased authors in conjunction with Birmingham’s Artwalk festival and juried show — at least one of those authors will be chosen by competition.

Birmingham- or area-based authors should:

1. send stories 2,500 words or less in length;
2. be comfortable performing them for an audience.

Winners will receive a $100 award, be published in a special Artwalk edition of THE2NDHAND, and participate in the Sept. 7 reading, with published authors from around the country. Please limit submissions to one or two stories per author. Join us.

Stories can be sent to todd@the2ndhand.com in a double-space Word document or comparable file. Alternately, post to:

Daniel Walters of Digitally Demented announces:

What do an emergency physician, a punk rock DJ obsessed with dead people, a tank girl who has a thing for bunnies, and a production-crazed college student all have in common?

No, we’re not all losing our minds, we’re getting together. OK, maybe the better way to say it is that we’re holding a get-together.

Tuesday, May 22, at the Pita Stop at 6 p.m., we’re looking to invite anyone and everyone interested in podcasting. 1106 12th St. S. [map]

Yes, I said podcasting. It’s that new buzzword that’s been flying around for the last two or three years now and we want Birmingham to get in on this bandwagon.

We’ll be hanging out, grabbing some grub, and answering any questions that we can answer about podcasting.

If you have a remote interest in podcasting, audio production, or just wanna hang out with some cool people, come on out! We’d love to have you!
