Jasmine Sailing Reading:
And it's the traditional "Torture the Chair Tyrant" fest. Jasmine will be reading excerpts from The Relativity of Demons and Angels whilst being cut, burnt, and shocked by a DE assemblage. The story itself will probably be more painful for her than the sharp and heated objects could ever be. Includes Gene Santagada, Gordon Klock, Gomez, and whoever (whatever) else we wind up throwing in. Time: Saturday, 7pm

Michael Hemmingson Reading:
Michael Hemmingson will be reading from his new novel, Wild Turkey. Time: Saturday, 8pm

Swapped Minds Block Reading:
Several Death Equinox participants will be randomly selecting texts by other participants to read, and squirming as they try to voice an alien mind-set. We tried this in '98 and '99, and it was amusing so we might as well do it again. Time: Sunday, 2pm
