Velro: Emily Pinkerton + Lynn Brown

April 4, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm UTC+0

Why did the Storm Trooper buy an iPhone?

Because he couldn’t find the Droid he was looking for!

To hear some even better stuff (WHAT?!) come on by to next Monday’s VelRo. We are proud to feature the amazing writing of Lynn Brown and Emily Pinkerton. And as always, 5-minute open mic slots, complimentary refreshments, and cheesy snacks.

Raised in the shadow of Houston refineries, Emily Pinkerton currently lives and writes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her writing has previously appeared or is forthcoming in Pith, Anthropoid, Noble/Gas Qtrly, Delirious Hem, and LEVELER, among others. She lived on a sailboat once, and should probably do it again. Her favorite color is fog.

Lynn Brown was technically born and raised in New York, but her heart (and most of her writing) will always belong to New Orleans. She is the co-curator of the Voices from the Margins reading series and editor of the forthcoming Footsteps of Baldwin Anthology, a collection of works by African American expats living in Paris. Her nonfiction work has been published in Conde Nast Traveler, the Colorado Daily News and the Matador Network, while her fiction is still mostly lurking around the halls of San Francisco State. She is not at all convinced that the ghosts, fairies and vampires she writes about in her speculative fiction work are not real.
