WORD Up: We Invite You to A Night of Music, Books and Booze in Brooklyn

 
That’s right, three of our favorite things in one of our favorite places—Wednesday night at Greenpoint’s WORD bookstore will play host to our ‘Russian Night’, a celebration of all things east of the iron curtain. First off, we’ll hear from our own Laurel Maury, the author of the “From Russia With Luxe” chapter of our well-recieved “FILM + TRAVEL: Europe” guidebook where she covers moviemaking in the former USSR from St. Petersberg to the Black Sea. Also appearing at Brooklyn’s forward-thinking bookstore will be Alina Simone—singer, songwriter, and author of the “Jailhouse Rock” chapter of our popular “MUSIC + TRAVEL: Worldwide” volume—explaining the odd charm of the Russian jail ballad, or “chanson”. Backing her up with a few of the heady songs himself will be Mike ‘Vivisector’ Antipow of Gulag Tunes. It’s a night of punk, Eastern tales, and, naturally, the vodka will flow. For information, see below.
