We're Nominated!

Hello Lickety Loverrrs,

Lickety Split # 8: The Work Issue is nominated for Best English zine at this year's Expozine Awards!

As contributors and supporters of Lickety Split it would be wonderful if you could join us to celebrate at the awards ceremony being held this Sunday April 3, 2011, 8 p.m. Admission is free at Divan Orange in Montreal, 4234 St-Laurent.

As you may remember, Lickety Split # 7 took home the prize for Best English zine at the Expozine Awards in 2008. And, while it was of course awesome to be chosen out of all the great zines that were nominated, it was also just wonderful to have an opportunity to get everyone together and acknowledge how much each person's contribution counted in making the zine as smutty and wicked as it can be.

More info about the nominees, etc. can be found here and the FB event is here. Please pass this information along to your friends, family, lovers and partners

Hope to see you there!

Yes, dear lovers of smut, zines, comics, and small presses, that magical weekend of wonder is upon us once more. Expozine!

This year marks Expozine's 9th anniversary. The event is taking place over the span of two days, Saturday, November 13 & Sunday, November 14. There will be circa 300 creators of art/lit gathering under the roof of Église Saint-Enfant Jésus, 5035 St-Dominique, which is about a 5 minute walk from Laurier Métro. The hours are from noon-6 p.m on both days.

Lickety Split has a table at Expozine, so please come on over and say hi!

Lickety Split: Legendary, local, and lovely.

Many thanks to everyone who attended the Lickety Split reading last Wednesday, November 3, at the Concordia Co-op Bookstore. Olga Wolstenholme, Guillaume Morissette, and I, all read work as part of the Co-op's amazing Local Legends series. We had a blast! 'Twas a night of laughs, chats, and cupcakes. Hopefully, we'll be doing more Lickety readings in the future, but let me get back to you on that one. Otherwise, can't wait to see you all at Expozine next weekend!

In the past seven years, Expozine has grown to become Canada's largest small press fair, attracting thousands of visitors as well as exhibitors from as far afield as France, Belgium, British Colombia, Philadelphia, New York, Halifax, Toronto, Vermont, Ottawa, and Quebec City!

At Expozine, you can discover a multitude of publications that can be hard to find in the first place, much less altogether in the same room! It’s a rare opportunity to peruse the work of hundreds of young and emerging authors, publishers and artists, and to see what the winners of last year’s Expozine Alternative Press Awards are up to. Not to be missed!
