Literary Death Match

Now in its fifth year, Literary Death Match, the popular performance-beer-author event, is hitting the road again, making a pit stop in Minnesota. Unlike a typical reading that features a small, quiet, sober audience, tonight's event takes a page from slam poetry nights and gets rowdy. Four authors have been invited—Matt Burgess (Dogfight, A Love Story), Nicole Helgit (The Turtle Catcher), Barrie Jean Borich (My Lesbian Husband), and Brad Liening (Ghosts and Doppelgangers)—and each will have the opportunity to blow audiences away in seven-minute readings of their work. They then will be critiqued, reality show-style, by a panel of mouthy judges, including Jeff Kamin of Books and Bars, comedian Mike Fotis, and banjo expert Ellen Stanley. (Photo by studentofrhythm)

How come these articles never state WHERE an event is taking place? I can guess because of the related articles and because of their credentials that this is taking place at BLB but I will still google it to make sure. Get it together CityPages!
