Boo, IPA, Boo!

Independently published magazines are so many fewer now: Between the uptick in blogs and the gory death of the Independent Press Association (a distributor that went under owing money to a lot of indie mags), iconoclastic print periodicals are becoming rare. At this special magazine tribute episode, Writers With Drinks not only raises bucks for MC Charlie Anders' indispensable Other magazine, but also presents readings by some very interesting magazine people. Of special note is Kaya Oakes, one of the publishers of Kitchen Sink, a local production whose tag line was "for people who think too much." The loss of KS really stung those very thinkers, who are also hurting from the scary state of McSweeney's, the so-wrong death of Punk Planet, and other bummers. Mystery Date's Lynn Peril, $pread magazine's Audacia Ray, Rolling Stone's Ben Fong-Torres, and others gather to discuss and, hopefully, to strategize.
