Roddy Bottum is best known as a musician (Imperial Teen, Nastie Band) and the founder of the iconic Faith No More. His new book, The Royal We (Akashic) is an ode to San Francisco, bicycle messengering, sex work, heroin, dreadlocks, the birth of politics in punk rock, wheatgrass, witches, crystal meth, coming out, self love and the burning down and obliteration of a great American city.

Bruce LaBruce is above all an icon and iconoclast. He is also an artist, writer, filmmaker, photographer, director, punk and birthday enthusiast.

Stevie Manning is a celebrated Toronto poet and artist. She is the author of Joan Would Say (KFB) and Shampoo Boy (Midnight Mass Books). Her poems were solicited by the Canadian Medical Association, but rejected after closer examination.

Vidal Wu is a writer and wine professional. Their articles have appeared in Louis Vuitton, Flaunt, Chatelaine and Toronto Life.

Tickets are $20 advance (+taxes and service charge) - more at the door.
