A literary journal like no other, Garbanzo seeks to open the loudspeaker of storytelling to all those who pour forth their heart and soul into the ink that longs for the page. Based neither on one’s prior conquests, nor their lineage of authorial name, our book features a mix of forty-three tale-tellers both new and seasoned, loquacious and brief, serious and witty and utilizing the form and format of stories, poems, essays and...

There will be:
-- Music by local Americana, Roots Rock, Cow Punk, foot-stompin’ kids-wanna-dance-to-it band The Shoutbacks (http://www.facebook.com/Shoutbacks)
-- An open mic for any writers who have a tale to tell
-- Live and in person readings by some of the 43 authors in Garbanzo
-- Video and audio readings by other Garbanzo writers,
beamed in through time and space
-- All sorts of great literature for sale
-- Extravaganza
-- Enough fun you’ll tell others it’s a cryin’ shame they weren’t there!
