Literary Death Match Austin, Ep. 2

For event updates and otherwise: www.LiteraryDeathMatch.com

An Austin stop was an obvious must for the 11th stop on Opium100's Monster Fundraising Tour, and to celebrate, co-sponsor the Writers' League of Texas is helping pack the night with enough talent to intoxicate the Live Music Capital of the World's collective consciousness. A trio of all-star judges is led by screenwriter/hilaritist/author of The Book of Harold: Owen Egerton, Sara Hickman (the Texas state musician for 2010-11), and the all-too-bashful, award-winning author of Woodsburner John Pipkin.

Plus, a quartet of readers led by journalist/author/radio commentator/ordained minister Spike Gillespie (Dick Monologues), author and former ad agency slave Anna Mitchael (Just Don't Call Me Ma'am), scribe Tyler Stoddard Smith and a fourth reader to be named shortly!

Hosted by Opium's Todd Zuniga and Writers' League of Texas' Sara Ortiz.
