New 33 1/3 Reading Series in NYC

For all of you in the New York area, we're starting a very exciting new 33 1/3 reading series at Barbès, a bar and performance space in Park Slope, Brooklyn located at 376 9th Street at 6th Ave.

The readings series will feature 33 1/3 authors but unlike your everyday run of the mill book event, each author in this series will incorporate music, audio, and visual elements to create an hour-long, multimedia music-fan's dream come true. The series will run the first Sunday of every month at 7pm starting in September. Come check it out! Music will be played, beer will be served.... Below is the schedule through January.

Sunday Sept. 7th @7pm Elisabeth Vincentelli on Abba's Abba Gold
Sunday Oct. 5th @7pm Zeth Lundy on Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life
Sunday Nov. 2nd @7pm Franklin Bruno on Elvis Costello's Armed Forces
Sunday Dec. 7th @7pm Joe Harvard on Velvet Underground's Velvet Underground and Nico
Sunday Jan 4th @7pm Michael Fournier on The Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime
