We just stopped by to let everyone know about this great event occurring in Boston on January 13th! After a stirring (and noisy) debut last April, Opium returns to Boston with a talent-rich lineup to heat up icy New England. The fundraising event doubles as the launch of Opium9: The Mania Issue. See readers Elisa Gabbert (Thanks for Sending the Engine) representing Open Letters, Steven Brykman (Four Stories), Janaka Stucky (Handsome) and a Quick Fiction reader-rep!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, brilliant judges Billy Giraldi (senior fiction editor of AGNI), comedian Lamont Price and a female musician TBA that'll knock your (and our) socks clean off!

After each pair of readings, the judges—focused on literary merit, performance and intangibles—take turns spouting hilarious, off-the-wall commentary about each story, then select their favorite to advance to the finals.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To satisfy your curiosity, here's a short video of an LDM featuring Paco Romane:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T6Lf-nH1DlY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T6Lf-nH1DlY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/mwuq/~4/_qT-sSNnx_Y" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/mwuq/~3/_qT-sSNnx_Y/literary-deathmatch-in-boston.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Wheeler's Frozen Dessert)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://wheelersblacklabelveganicecream.blogspot.com/2010/01/literary-deathmatch-in-boston.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670135602188854618.post-8224883024309296856</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-04T17:32:30.705-05:00</atom:updated><title>Literary Deathmatch in Chicago, IL!</title><description>Hi everyone!

We just wanted to let everyone know in NYC (and possibly Boston) about this great event that we are going to be attending on Thursday. Taking place on December 17th 2009, the Literary Deathmatch is an event that is not to be missed. It is a free event hosted at the Bowery Poetry Club; doors at 7:00pm &amp; the show at 8:15pm. Drinks until 10pm! There is also an after party at Von, located at 3 Bleeker street. Here is more information about Literary Deathmatch from their website, for those who are interested in attending:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opium’s Literary Death Match, co-created by Opium’s founding editor, Todd Zuniga (pictured), Elizabeth Koch &amp; Dennis DiClaudio, marries the literary and performative aspects of Def Poetry Jam, rapier-witted quips of American Idol’s judging (without any meanness), and the ridiculousness and hilarity of Double Dare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each episode of this competitive, humor-centric reading series features a thrilling mix of four famous and emerging authors (all representing a literary publication, press or concern--either online or in print) who perform their most electric writing (in eight minutes or less) before a lively audience and a panel of three all-star judges. After each pair of readings, the judges—focused on literary merit, performance and intangibles—take turns spouting hilarious, off-the-wall commentary about each story, then select their favorite to advance to the finals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two finalists then compete in the Literary Death Match finale, which trades in the show’s literary sensibility for an absurd and comical climax to determine who takes home the Literary Death Match crown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may sound like a circus—and that's half the point. Opium and the Literary Death Match have long been passionate about inspecting new and innovative ways to present text on the page and off of it, and the most fascinating part about the LDM is how seriously attentive the audience is during each reading. We've called this the great literary ruse: an audacious and inviting title, a harebrained finale, but in-between the judging creates a relationship with the viewer as a judge themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our ultimate goal is to perform the Literary Death Match all over the world, and to continue to showcase literature as a brilliant, unstoppable medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a gift to all ye literary faithful, this shortened holiday episode will be free (a gift to our fans)! Plus, so we can celebrate with you with time to spare, we'll be doing a "lightning round" version of the event, in which readers read for four minutes or less, and judges have a minute and a half time limit (and the holiday-themed finale is not to be missed).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judges include&lt;/i&gt; &lt;big&gt;Ben Greenman of the New Yorker, Devorah Rose (Social Life magazine), Jared Bloom (Full Ginsburg)&lt;/big&gt; and readers &lt;big&gt;Terese Svoboda (Weapons Grade), Elna Baker (The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance), James Yeh (of Gigantic) and LDM first-timer Jason Helm!&lt;/big&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, a holiday-themed finale that will revolutionize literary events forever!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Literary Deathmatch&lt;br /&gt;December 17&lt;br /&gt;Bowery Poetry Club (map), Doors: 7:00, Show: 8:15 (sharp), Drinks: until 10!&lt;br /&gt;Afterparty at Von at 10 p.m. (map)&lt;br /&gt;Sponsored by Against Nature&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.literarydeathmatch.com/storage/Against%20Nature%20White.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1259693721908"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/mwuq/~4/gAlwGyDU7kA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/mwuq/~3/gAlwGyDU7kA/attn-nyc-literary-deathmatch_15.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Wheeler's Frozen Dessert)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://wheelersblacklabelveganicecream.blogspot.com/2009/12/attn-nyc-literary-deathmatch_15.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670135602188854618.post-2244870978905845620</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-08T18:17:30.121-05:00</atom:updated><title>REMINDER: Attn: Philadelphia!</title><description>Hi everyone, the holidays are nearing and Wheeler has been extremely busy with book signings and making ice cream!

Although Wheeler is already busy making batches of ice cream and other desserts for the holidays, we've add another event to our calendar this season! We will be participating in this year's Boston Bazaar Bizarre this Sunday, December 6th from 12PM-6PM at the BCA Cyclorama. Admission is $1, but it is totally worth it to check out some of these amazing crafty &amp; creative vendors - as well as sample some of our seasonal flavors of ice cream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bazaarbizarre.org/gallery_images/cyclorama.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazaar Bizarre began in 2001 in the Boston-area as a hodge-podge of friends and acquaintances cobbling together their handcrafted DIY wares to sell and staging an offbeat entertainment extravaganza. In 2004 the Bazaar Bizarre spread to Los Angeles and Cleveland and in 2006 Make took us under their wing to include the Bazaar Bizarre as part of the Maker Faire in the San Francisco-area every spring. The Bazaars in Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles and San Francisco happen every year during peak holiday shopping season in December.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;Boston Bazaar Bizarre&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, December 6th, 2009&lt;br /&gt;Noon-7pm&lt;br /&gt;BCA Cyclorama&lt;br /&gt;539 Tremont St&lt;br /&gt;Boston, MA&lt;br /&gt;Admission $1&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/mwuq/~4/5fi8YgxOIu4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/mwuq/~3/5fi8YgxOIu4/wheeler-del-torro-wheelers-frozen.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Wheeler's Frozen Dessert)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://wheelersblacklabelveganicecream.blogspot.com/2009/12/wheeler-del-torro-wheelers-frozen.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670135602188854618.post-1697491400404876754</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-25T17:28:17.290-05:00</atom:updated><title>Attn: Philadelphia!</title><description>Hi everyone, the holidays are nearing and Wheeler has been extremely busy with book signings and making ice cream!

The awesome blog, &lt;a href="http://caribbeanvegan.wordpress.com"&gt;Vegan in the Sun: Caribbean Vegan Delights&lt;/a&gt; reviewed a recipe out of The Vegan Scoop for soursop ice cream. The post has some beautiful pictures so we advise everyone to check it out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The milky thick texture of the soursop makes it an excellent fruit for a creamy ice cream based. I purchased some cookbooks last week and one I was reading through was the Vegan Scoop by Wheeler del Torro. In the book is a bunch of island flavours but I did not see the more obvious one soursop. I took it upon myself to make a soursop ice-cream recipe this morning..."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the full article &lt;a href="http://caribbeanvegan.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/creole-week-avocados-are-more-than-just-guacomole-feroce-davocat/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Vegan in the Sun!&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/mwuq/~4/GnFuKgWaPdo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/mwuq/~3/GnFuKgWaPdo/wheeler-del-torro-wheelers-frozen_16.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Wheeler's Frozen Dessert)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://wheelersblacklabelveganicecream.blogspot.com/2009/09/wheeler-del-torro-wheelers-frozen_16.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670135602188854618.post-9040752762035452500</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-15T14:59:19.307-04:00</atom:updated><title>Wheeler del Torro, Wheeler's Frozen Dessert Co. at NE Dessert Showcase in Boston!</title><description>Hi everyone!
