The good folks at Geist magazine are going to be at the Vancouver Word on the Street Festival on Sunday, Sept. 24.
The Geist booth is always fun: they have giveaways and super deals on mag subscriptions and, this year, the forthcoming Geist Atlas of Canada.
Get in the literary mood with the Geist-sponsored Haiku Night in Canada, on the Main Stage at 2:20 pm. Also Geist your way over to the Magazine Mews stage at 4 pm for a panel on getting published in magazines.
And if you don’t like sunlight, visit Geisters and comix phenoms Eve Corbel and Sarah Leavitt at Word Under the Street, in the basement of the library.
Eve Corbel and Sarah Leavitt have officially adopted the comix artist Joe Sacco for the day. They’ll be displaying their comix wares all day: Slug Noir, Small Dogs Haiku, Ex-Husbands from Hell, Why Editors Have No Friends, and more. There’s lots of fun, comics drawing contests and other cool stuff.
Not in Vancouver but need a Geist fix?
In Toronto at Word on the Street, Geist teams up with Maisonneuve (another great mag).
In Kitchener, Geist is part of the action in Victoria Park.
And Geist sightings will be recorded in Calgary and Halifax.
(BTW: If you’re interested in the Geist Atlas of Canada, you can order before September 30th and receive a 30% discount. Need more details?)
