Three times a year, Eight-Stone Press publishes the award-winning Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore!, a submission-based literary zine dedicated to collecting the tales of those on whom Mobtown has left her indelible mark. Polished, professional essays; barroom sermons delivered from the sanctity of a favorite stool; the poet's fleeting sentiment, captured in both word and snapshot. A two-time Utne Independent Press Award Nominee, Smile, Hon has also been dubbed "Best Zine" by Baltimore Magazine (2008) and Baltimore City Paper (2004).
BALTIMORE, Md. - Baltimore's own Cyclops Books, at the northeast corner of Maryland and North Avenues, hosts a Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore!reading and open-mic event beginning at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, December 30, 2011. Enjoy free, morbidly-shaped homemade cookies, and bring along your own stories or songs! It's all part of the Station North Arts District's "Final Fridays."
But wait, there's more! How do you make and event like this even better? Well, just bring one non-perishable food item (soup, peanut butter, etc.) or one personal care product (soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc.) and we'll send it all over to the good folks at the Bea Gaddy Family Center.
