Final Thursday Reading Series featuring Dave Gibson

Thursday, September 27, 2012 - 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Dave Gibson, author of the new collection, Pallet King and Tales from the File will take the stage at this month’s Final Thursday Reading Series on September 27 at the Hearst Center for the Arts. 

The title story “Pallet King,” is based on true events involving a local controversy regarding wooden pallets that spun out of control. Gibson notes that most of his writing is “based on real events or thinly veiled reality” and he writes essays and stories about “things that really happened.”  Mostly, he tries “to find humor in my goof ups.” Attendees are encouraged to share their best five minutes of poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction.  The evening will begin at 7p.m. with an open mic sign-up and open mic beginning at 7:15.  Dave Gibson will read at 8:00.  Published work by Gibson as well as other regional writers will be available for purchase.
