   G.K. Darby, director of the New Orleans Bookfair, is proud   
   of the line-up he has assembled for the third annual   
   Bookfair on Saturday, October 30: "Between Loompanics, AK   
   Press, and Last Gasp, we feel like we've got book   
   publishing's 'axis of evil' tour for Halloween."   
      
   Those are just three of the dozens of counterculture   
   publishers that will be showcasing their warez at the   
   k00lest bookfest in Amerikkka. "We put the X in bookeXpo,"   
   says director Darby, whose Garrett County Press recently   
   scored a hit with The George W. Bush Coloring Book, by   
   Karen Ocker. The New Orleans Bookfair is unlike any book   
   fest you've ever seen. For starters, alcoholic beverages   
   are not only permitted, they're required. The food is great   
   and so's the music. Eye candy includes pierced people, hip   
   fashion, protest art, and row upon row of scandalous books   
   and angry zines.   
      
   The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana will be   
   staffing a "wailing wall" where people can express their   
   opinions about renewing the Patriot Act. AuthorViews will   
   be shooting free two-minute videos and posting them on the   
   web. There will be readings, rants and interviews in an old   
   schoolbus. In the center of it all, Babylon Lexicon will   
   host a juried exhibit of art books.   
      
   The Bookfair takes place Saturday, October 30, 2004, from   
   10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Barrister's Gallery, 1724 Oretha   
   Castle Haley Boulevard. Admission is FREE. And that's just   
   the book part! The p-a-r-t-y starts Thursday, October 28,   
   and ends sometime in November. See the web site for an   
   incomplete listing of ancillary mayhem:
