The always off the hook Red Bob Junghanz will be corralling yinz and generally doing his best to host this event.

And then there's amazing picture projections by 'jORGONEson presents...films from the Orgone Archive'

a $5 bill will get you in, the event is BYOB, although there may be some alcohol around. Stephanie Brea is making state shaped cookies(thanks for being awesome Stephanie) and the audience will be picking the set list out of a bag filled with state puzzle pieces (that means you may want to bone up on your geography).

here's some bios:

Jason Baldinger has spent a life in odd jobs, if only poetry was the strangest of them he’d have far less to talk about. Somewhere in time he has traveled the country, and wrote a few books. The latest of which 'The Lower 48' (Six Gallery Press) and the chapbook 'The Studs Terkel Blues' (Night Ballet Press) are slated to be released in 2014. A short litany of publishing credits include: The New Yinzer, Shatter Wig Press, Blast Furnace, B.E. Quarterly and Fuck Art, Let’s Dance. You can also hear audio of some poems on the bandcamp website by just typing in his name.

Stephanie Brea has slung coffee, wrote about inventions and worked for a company that built museum exhibits. This means she likes her espresso doubled, is most likely responsible for some of the products pitched on late night infomercials and can spell archaeopteryx without the need for spell check. She is a part-time copy editor and facilitates creative writing workshops for local schools and organizations. Her work has been published in Pear Noir!, The Legendary, Nerve Cowboy and the Pittsburgh City Paper.

Taylor Grieshober is a writer living in Wilkinsburg, PA. She co-directs The New Yinzer Presents.

Bob Pajich is a writer living in the east hills of Pittsburgh. His The Trolleyman was Low Ghost Press's third book. Sadly, whiskey now gives him heart burn.
