Do you find that Halloween doesn't satisfy your need for creativity? A proud participant in the Olympic Plaza Cultural District's First Thursday initiative, this instalment of the flywheel reading series promises an evening of literary and experimental madness at McNally Robinson.  On November 1, you will find a creatively satiating line-up of Calgary writerly gentlemen who will titillate, provoke, and challenge daily conventions.

Join Glen Dresser and Doug Ferguson to celebrate their recently released novels!  Experience the pleasing insanity of Andre Rodrigues' linguistic gymnastics!  Finally, discover the newcomer Ian Kinney, editor of cutting edge publication NōD magazine!

PLUS:  Don't forget the flywheel prize draw, and the flywheel limited edition posters!  Not only will attendees get to hear top-notch literature, but they'll also have the chance to win swag from filling Station magazine and McNally Robinson Booksellers.

Every month since November 2003, filling Station magazine's flywheel reading series has brought poetry, prose, music, lectures and performance to the heart of downtown Calgary.  It's a place for first-time readers to share the stage with professional authors, for Calgary audiences to see their favourite writers alongside the next generation of literary superstars.
