WITH OUR BELLIES FILLED<\/font> with Thanksgiving treats, Secret Acres is getting festive yet again. And by festive, we mean gay. Gay-owned, operated and managed, Secret Acres is debuting its first queer-themed book this week, Gaylord Phoenix<\/em><\/a>. In fact, and we were thinking about this, is there another gay-themed graphic novel, as in long form comic fiction, from a gay creator out there that can’t be filed under porn\/stupid? And no, Fun Home<\/a> and Stuck Rubber Baby<\/a> don’t count; they’re very good, yes, but they’re memoirs. Please holla back if you’ve got something; we’re all ears and we love lists.<\/p>\n

To celebrate all the gayness, we’ve got a Cinders Gallery<\/a> (in Brooklyn) release party on Thursday, December 2nd. The idea of Gaylord<\/em> books framed by the Heavy Light <\/a>installation currently up at Cinders is going to make for a stunning display. Get there early; this one might get crowded fast.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, we’ll be selling the book at BCGF<\/a>, of course. Surely, you’re familiar with BCGF, and if not, then we’re sure you know the guest list<\/a>. BCGF is a unique battle royale of the best literary comics and bleeding edge artists around. It’s free; so just go and be amazed – and prepare to go broke; there’s just too much good stuff.<\/p>\n

You’ll find us right at the entrance, wedged between Canadian powerhouse Drawn & Quarterly<\/a> and that Jordan Crane<\/a> guy, whose prints will give you brain damage. Ken Dahl<\/a> and John Brodowski<\/a> will be joining Edie Fake<\/a> at our table, signing any old thing you put in front of them, and Secret Acre Sean Ford<\/a> will be about and dropping the penultimate Only Skin<\/em><\/a> just to make this even more overkill. It’ll also be your last chance to get artist-signed and sketched books to give as holiday presents. Remember, street cred always makes a great gift.<\/p>\n

If you’re in Chicago (and good for you!), Edie Fake will also be at Quimby’s <\/a>Gaylord Phoenix<\/em> release party on December 9th. Yep, the whole U.S. of A. is celebrating Edie’s book, one city at a time. If you pre-ordered a copy of Gaylord Phoenix<\/em> from the Emporium<\/a>, it should be getting out to you this week!<\/p>\n

If Thursday is just too far away, Acres pal Lisa Hanawalt<\/a> has a comics party at Desert Island<\/a> on Tuesday, November 30th to celebrate both issue #2 of I Want You<\/em><\/a> and the fantastic window display she did for Desert Island. Rumor has it there will be beer as well.<\/p>\n

Speaking of presents, don’t forget the Secret Acres Emporium is always open and we’ll be happy to ship things off to you in time for the holidays – just let us know your timeline. We should have the full run of Troop 142<\/em><\/a> back in stock next week.<\/p>\n

We’ll be back after BCGF with salacious details of all the release parties and panel discussions. We may even have the first wave of responses to Gaylord Phoenix<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Your (gay) pals,<\/p>\n
