Fairfax Avenue (across the street from Canter&#8217;s Deli), Los Angeles, 90036.<\/p>\n<p><em>Arthur<\/em>&#8216;s &#8220;New Herbalist&#8221; columnist Molly Frances incited a revolution nationwide by informing readers of the true powers of almonds, sprigs of mint, and Lord Byron&#8217;s secret potion (a.k.a. apple cider vinegar). Molly&#8217;s eerily prescient horoscopes have been known to strike the melodic funny-bone of even the most determined non-believer. Tonight Molly will be giving astrological readings as well tripling any double entendre at hand.<\/p>\n<p>Oliver Hall penned <em>Arthur<\/em>&#8216;s cover story on Kim Gordon and memorably profiled folk radicals Faun Fables. He is the statuesque guitarist with L.A.&#8217;s newest psych-rock sensation E.S.P.S., and is seldom seen without his trusty Patsy Cline t-shirt. Tonight Hall will be dispensing priceless aphorisms as well as deconstructing the pungent, multi-faceted phrase &#8220;no money, no honey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Peter Relic eulogized Jam Master Jay and went on the road with the Black Keys and Sleater-Kinney for <em>Arthur<\/em>. Relic&#8217;s profile of the Geto Boys, reprinted in <em>Da Capo&#8217;s Best American Music Writing 2006<\/em>, was deemed by Seattle&#8217;s <em>The Stranger<\/em> to be &#8220;easily one of the most surreal, violent, and ludicrous artists encounters ever documented.&#8221; Tonight Relic will be reading from his storehouse of pantoums, an unjustly obscure Malaysian poetic form.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to seeing you there\u2014dressing in black not a requirement!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.villagevoice.com\/blogs\/runninscared\/archives\/2007\/02\/freak_flags_fly.php\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Village Voice<\/em> post-mortem<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That which you will miss: Arthur #1\u201325. \u201cAnd till Arthur comes againus and sen peatrick&#8217;s he&#8217;s reformed we&#8217;ll pose him together a piece, a pace.\u201d Finnegans Wake by James Joyce.
