Vermin on the Mount

THERE WILL BE CAKE

Come celebrate the release of Harry, Revised with a night of irreverent readings and a bellyful of booze and cake!

VERMIN, REVISED

It's been ages since our last book release party and the rats at Vermin HQ have been hankering for some Chinatown cake. Vermin Sub Commandante MARK SARVAS comes through with a cracking good novel about a man at the crossroads. Since Mark is a long-time friend and Harry, Revised is a very fine book, we decided to throw a party -- with plenty of surprises in store for Senor Sarvas.

MARIANNE MEYERHOFF: The author of Four Girls from Berlin revisits her memoir about her childhood during the Holocaust.

TERESA CARMODY: Publisher of Les Figues Press, will be reading from Axel Thormählen's very cool book, just translated from the Swedish.

DAVID FRANCIS: Author of The Great Inland Sea will be reading a preview of his forthcoming novel.

Come for the laughs literature, stick around for the free cake!

VERMIN #21

Jaysus, is it raining blood in here again? No, Owen Dara, it's just the recap to the Kiss Me I'm Vermin edition of Vermin on the Mount!

First we kicked things off with a little cervesa verde at Casey's Irish Bar & Grille downtown. Schlocky, but necessary.

The black velveted voice of Joe O'Brien warmed up the crowd with a reading from his novel-in-progress about the trials and travails of a stand-up comic.

To celebrate the paperback release of Perfect from Now On, Angry John Sellers traveled all the way from New York City to tell us why Bono isn't the wanker we think he is.

Here's Owen Dara again, this time reading from his memoir, White Horses: An Irish Childhood, which is filled with many moving moments and comic touches.

Who's that man accosting the host, you ask? It's none other than the illustrious infamous Nathan Cathcart, the inspiration for Dickie Island's amazing poster. Need a little clarity? Check the similarity:

Nathan helped me give many Kiss Me I'm Vermin shirts away in the Vermin raffle (still plenty of shirts left, especially if you're a little verminita or a big pest (ladies M & L, guys XL). All shirts are made in the USA, just like Jay, the man who makes it happen at the Mountain Bar.

Be sure to stop by soon to check out what we have in store next month when we send-up celebrate the release of Harry, Revised, by longtime member of the Legion of Vermin, Mark Sarvas.
