This Sunday, December 6th, Hell Phone is hosting an intimate night of literary reading and storytelling about Bushwick organized by Nomadic Press. The event is headlined by Modesto Flako Jimenez, a Bushwick poet and an actor. The line-up for the night includes Dallas Athent and Katarina Hybenova, both of Bushwick Daily family and a Bushwick artist Danielle De Jesus who was featured in the fall issue of Bushwick Notebook. This should be fun!
