Last reading at DreamHaven: Have at it

by Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet • August 19, 2008 • DreamHaven Books, the sci-fi bookstore where Uptowners have been able to enjoy altered states and surreal encounters otherwise available only in the basement of William’s, will be vacating its Lake Street location for a smaller shop across town in the Standish neighborhood.

Arts Orbit is a multisource blog about the local arts scene, featuring both original contributions by Daily Planet writers and entries reprinted from partner blogs and online publications.


The last reading at DreamHaven’s Uptown location—a spot that’s seen appearances by the likes of Douglas Adams, Poul Anderson, and Harlan Ellison—will take place next Monday at 6:30 p.m. The lucky lady will be Haddayr Copley-Woods, a fantasist who ventures into erotica. She promises to read, among other things, her short story “The Desires of Houses,” which she describes as “porny.”

She yanks open the dryer, who feels violated and then guilty for enjoying it…The orgiastic moaning of the toothbrush annoys the towel incredibly, because after all who is it that gets to cradle her every last curve rubbing rubbing rubbing and then contentedly wrap herself around the woman’s breast and hips for a little post-pleasure snuggling?

“There will be much use of the word ‘fuck,’” warns the writer. “Knowing that, if you still wish to bring your kids, have at it.”

News you can use

Choose your school

Saturday is School Choice Day in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’re the parent of a student, you have the opportunity to send your child to either the public school in your neighborhood or a magnet school. You also have the opportunity to send your child to a charter or a private school. Both school districts, and metro-area charter schools, are planning one-stop information fairs where, they say, you can find out all you need to know about schools where you might want to send your child.

Weekend What's What 1/8-1/11: Hunt and gather

Way to bounce back! The Twin Cities seem to have easily shaken off their holiday lethargy just in time for a pretty rockin’ weekend. Art exhibits, which have been on holiday hiatus as of late, are back in full effect; while rock shows and dance parties continue to ignite flames all over town. Our suggestion? Go out on the prowl! Meet some new people, see some new sights, and experience some fresh excitement. It is 2009 after all (an excuse we’ll be using throughout January, if not February). MORE »
