Vermin on the Mount

VERMIN #15

What's this? A Vermin recap a little more than a week after the event? This smells like a technology breakthrough at Casa Mick. Behold the wonders of ye fiancee's camera telephone...

This is Perry Crowe, novelist, journalist, and editor of the brand-spanking new online humor adventure called Mr. Judas.

Here's Jod Kaftan, erstwhile neighbor and soon to be bethrothed. He read from something he referred to as a "meta-autobiography," which goes to show you the lengths people will go to avoid calling their work a memoir. Nevertheless it was quite good and very funny.

Which brings us to Antoine Wilson, depicted here reading an excerpt from his forthcoming novel, which he taped to his shoe. 

Chances are you already know who this gentleman is. If you don't, feel free to give that rock you've been living under a shove and suck in a hearty lungful of bodacious brown air. It's L.A. author Brad Listi reading from his bestselling novel, Attention. Deficit. Disorder!

If you are scratching your head wondering if you missed the recap of Vermin #14 with Rolf Potts, Daniel Hernandez, Theresa Duncan, and Stephan Clark, you can stop looking under the seat cushions and in the cabinet where you stash the bad porn. We forgot our camera that evening, but that is not to say we did not capture some images. Stay tuned for the first ever sketchpad recap...
