homo-centric's WeHo Book Fair Schedule!!


10:00 a.m.
Caffienate the homo-centric way (no coffee required)!
We'll do something fun to say 'hello' before we dive in.
Right after that we start the day with these big shots of express-o's:
* Karen Anzoategui
* Marlene Leach
* Tom Rastrelli &
* Anthony Moses Sanchez
* Don Scotti


11:00 a.m.
You won't find fizzier soda or more sparkly champers so skip brunch & have our 6-pack instead!
* Kate Gilbert
* Bonnie S. Kaplan
* Poul Kwik
* Ric Montejano
* Sylvia A. Sukop &
* Jack Tangle


12:00 p.m.
They say Alex Davis is a trans man to be reckoned with
and we reckon you should join us at high noon.
If you haven't caught his one-person show 'Man of the Year'
then catch this special musical performance!



12:15 p.m.
It's a Poetry Contest! At the Book Fair in Hollywood West!
We'll pull words from a hat
(What do you think about that?)
and challenge folks to come up with a poem in 4 minutes.
Then we'll read them & vote to see who win-its.
The audience chosen winner gets a homo-centric prize
of a yet-to-be determined size.



12:45 p.m.

Philip Littell hems & haws when we ask him about himself.
All we could get from this talented L.A. performer
about his book fair appearance is this blurb:
"Everyone who hears this story gets laid."
So we'll see you there, yeah?


1:00 p.m.
Brown bag it & spend lunch with us because we have a basket full of LGBTQI wow-ness set up for you:
* John Boucher
* Chris Corkum
* Raquel Guitierrez
* Steven Tagle &
* Richard Villegas



2:00 p.m.
It's the man who puts 'gay' in a-gay-zing:
Ian MacKinnon is coming to give us a lesson
with a super exciting excerpt from his one-man show:
Ian MacKinnon's Gay Hist-Orgy!


2:15 p.m.

T-y-p-i-n-g C-o-n-t-e-s-t!
Sign up, sit down & tap out some homo-centric words
the old-fashioned way: on a manual typewriter.
The fastest with the leastest mistakes
wins a big 'royal' homo-centric gift!


3:00 p.m.
Make like a comet & three'o'clock rock it with these talented Centrics:
* Alicia Adams
* Ryka Aoki

It's the Queer Youth Everywhere Slam!
We're sponsoring an hour of under 21 youth
to close out the Book Fair with a big huge
Queer glimpse of the future.
Don't miss it!

5:30
Raffle Winners!
We'll wrap up the day by pulling out names
from our day-long raffle sales.
Winners don't have to be present to win
so buy raffle tickets all day long!


Please note:
We have tried to make this schedule as final as possible...
...so we expect it to change at some time.
We'll update it as necessary & send out a final jpeg or pdf version
to all Centrics prior to the day of the book fair.
See you there!

what is homo-centric?

homo-centric is a monthly reading series curated by Hank Henderson. The series is hosted by Stories Books & Cafe in Echo Park and takes place the 3rd Thursday of every month. By offering this space for LGBTQI writers to gather & share their words we hope to create a renewed sense of community. There's a hunger for connection and a wonder about our collective history that needs to be nurtured and continued.
