Book Release Party for
Joe Pachinko’s Geek City Apocalypso 










also featuring S.A. Griffin, Pam Ward, Rich Ferguson









S.A. Griffin: http://outlawpoetry.com/category/sa-griffin/

S.A. Griffin lives, loves and works in Los Angeles. He is a left
handed lefty from the left coast. He drives too fast, sleeps too little and
thinks too much. His heart is a wheel that breaks for cubist impulse. He
believes that God is a left handed cheeseburger that paints mustaches on the
moon while the sun cries Mary. Married to a wonderful librarian from New
Jersey, proud father of a son who says hello to the world with his wild guitar,
and owned by three spinster cats, his life has been the journey of the book
less travelled by, which really has made all the difference.

Cervenka, Loudon Wainwright, T.C. Boyle, Bob Holman, and many other esteemed
writers and musicians. He has performed at the Redcat Theater, the NYC
International Fringe Festival, the Bowery Poetry Club, and Stephen Elliott’s

Pariah." Ron Turner of LAST GASP BOOKS wrote this about Joe's novel:

language book. You are an interesting writer."
