D'Merde Salon at The Woods!

Hello All-
D'Merde Salon is moving to The Woods for a gathering on October 29th, 2009 at 8pm. Here's the release:

UNDERGROUND SECRET SOCIETY, D'MERDE SALON IS BACK. Now at The Woods!


UNDERGROUND SECRET SOCIETY, D'MERDE SALON, MOVES TO 'THE WOODS' FOR OCTOBER 29th EVENT

Portland, Ore. – September 21th, 2009 – While best known as the secret absinthe party where you could meet rock stars, mingle with film directors or get publishing deals; D'Merde Salon has a new space. After finally growing out of the tiny garage in which it resided for a year, D'Merde is moving to Portland's newest popular venue: The Woods, for a flagship event October 29th, 2009.

"I couldn't have found a more perfect home for D'Merde," says creator and host, Jessica Glenn. "The otherworldly, funeral home atmosphere is the kind of secret society meets clubhouse vibe that's essential for D'Merde Salon's mix of geniuses, patrons and absinthe whacks."

As with previous D'Merde Salons, guests will be treated to a mix of mediums including four bands, a one night only art show with notable Portland artists, readings from celebrity writers, and the crazy feeling that no one will ever believe who you ended up talking to last night...

Sponsored by KZME, this evening's participants are some of Portland's most eccentric, flamboyant artists: Death by Doll (with Dame Darcy), The MoonShriners (with members from LSD&D, Slack, Peter Pants and The Freight train Casanovas), Judson Claiborne (from Chicago), and local shoe-gazers, Josh and Charlotte. Painters include Miss Mona Superhero, Private Mike Albano (of Chariots of Rubber), Dame Darcy and more. Readings by Monica Drake (author of Clown Girl as well as the intro to Chuck Palahniuk's new release), Jessica Glenn (of MindBuck Media), Viva Las Vegas (from new release, Magic Gardens) and Dame Darcy (of Gasoline, Meatcake and more).
