Bad Blood is back and bloody for the 10th time. BBX! Witching hour at 7:30; reading at 8:30. This is your chance to get your mitts on C.A. Conrad’s new book, A Beautiful Marsupial Afternoon: New (Soma)tics (Wave Books), so bring some dollars for that. Put some dollars in the happy jar and grab a beer. This one’s going to be extra special. You’re extra special. Bad Blood thinks it’s a good match: please come.
