Posted by Jacob Schraer on Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 2:44 PM
Tomorrow night at Disjecta, Wordstock and the IPRC are holding the annual Text Ball, a night of readings, music, and mingling. Attendees are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite font. Entry is $15 at the door, $12 in advance. More from the organizers:
This year's theme is “The Graphic Details" and the evening will be hosted by Portland Man About Town, AC DICKSON! Back Fence PDX producer/host B. FRAYN MASTERS will host a mini show of live, unscripted storytelling by
* Graphic novelist NICOLE GEORGES
* Local luminary and illustrator CARSON ELLIS
* The always-hilarious MATT BORSRounding out the evening will be a slide show by ARTHUR BRADFORD, a brand new animated short by MATT BORS, and JULIA KOBOS will heat things up with a quick and dirty hip hop number followed by a set from DJ Rescue (ZIA McCABE from the Dandy Warhols).
We'll have dessert, word games, dirty limericks, and a silent auction, rounding the evening off with a costume parade of all our graphic glory.
Disjecta is at 8371 N Interstate Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. The Text Ball is Saturday which is tomorrow night. All proceeds benefit the IPRC.
