The Mess! and resources for indie press?

There are surprises in the line up for the month’s mess (today!). I met Christine from Homonumos magazine with Josh the other day, she’ll be joining us for this mess in between work with artists in Beijing, Rome and off to explore scripts with avant garde actors in Buenos Aires. At the mess tonight she’ll be reading a poem of her own, and from a quickie email we exchanged I believe she’s found a tango dancing friend to interpret her words with movement. She emailed me primarily to ask about indie bookstores in Montreal where she might put her multi-lingual arts magazine. I had a few to suggest, but not as many as I’d have liked.

these people own 2 stores, and they carry some indie press at Local 23 on Bernard

from what i can tell the bookmobile / mobilivre project has shut down, which is tooo bad.

Are there places I’m forgetting or don’t know about? Post ‘em in the comments to help out.

And come by the Mess tonight! To say hello, to see this indie literary magazine Homonumos, plus interpretive tango dancing, and, I believe, a surprise appearance by the Dead Doll Dancers, in addition to the wicked bands and artists already in the line up.
