My friend Steve, the publisher of the Hamtramck-based zine, Stupor, read from his new book, at the Shadow Art Fair on Saturday. Here’s a little taste… Those who are interested can buy copies of the book, which was made possible by the generous support of the Kresge Foundation, here.
And, for those of you who find yourselves needing more Steve Hughes, he also makes an appearance in this video I shot of the band Dabenport, who likewise performed at the Shadow Art Fair. (As you’ll see, I was half way through video taping one of their songs, when Steve came up behind me and poked me in the ribs.)

I think this kind of event should be illegal.
I love that Dabenport was on the same bill with Druid Perfume the same way I love the fact that the guy with the pooping wizard flip book was next to the older woman with pen and ink drawings of birds inside. It’s cool that such people can coexist happily under the auspices of the Shadow.
MM.com readers in New York should be aware of the fact that Steve will be reading at Printed Matter this Friday evening. Here are the details.
Go see him if you have a chance… And be sure to tell him that I said hello.
