Read And Rock - Owen Egerton and Doug Dorst Read Words!

Tonight at Joe’s Coffee on South Congress next to the San Jose, Austinist favorite Owen Egerton and a likely Austinist soon-to-be-favorite Doug Dorst will be reading and other shenanigans to celebrate the Fall Issue of American Short Fiction. Their cahooting will be accompanied by the decidedly Austin tones of Blood Country (formerly Chili Cold Blood), who appear to have a swell sense of humor about their motherfuckin’ selves. Words, music, and the potential for public wrestling betwixt the two writers are all practically inevitable. This is a splendid yet standard trifecta-like display of Austin creativity, and the potential for Owen and Doug to cause the accidental production of a unified singularity of said creativity which would cause an implosion of all that we know is, well, actually that idea is completely absurd. And absurdity is the name of tonight’s game, wethinks.

If you are currently unaware of Egerton’s varied genius and constant smile, then this is your big chance to get up to date. Dorst’s rising star should not be missed by the masses either.
