Anamesa Spring 2010 Launch Party

Friends,

It is with immense pleasure that I am writing to you to let you know that the Anamesa Spring 2010 issue is about to come back from the printer, and that deserves a celebration. Please join the staff, contributors, and friends of Anamesa at large for a launch party to acknowledge all of the hard work that went into this latest issue, and frankly, just to have a great time. There will be food to munch on and the first 40 attendees can enjoy a drink on us! I can’t think of a better after-party for the Draper end of year party (5pm in the Draper Map Room, 14 University Place)–after that winds down, just hop over to the Stoned Crow and meet us for a night cap.

Here’s the details:
Stoned Crow
85 Washington Place
New York, New York 10011

Thursday, May 6 from 7 to 9 pm

The journal will be available for pick up at the party and later in the Draper office at 14 University Place. Also, if you are interested in contributing to the Fall 2010 issue of Anamesa, please send along your non-fiction, fiction, poetry, art, photography, screenplays, etc (but nothing over 6,000 words long) to us at anamesa.journal@gmail.com.

See you on May 6,
Best,
Lindsey Schneider
editor in chief
