Putt-Putt Poets.
1st December 2004, 5.48pm

Two words. GDS. launch. Does an acronym count as a word?

Anyway, it's that time of year again - time for the launch of the latest issue of that fantabulastic literary magazine known to all as Going Down Swinging. Everyone's favourite bastion of independent literature and spoken word is proud to present its 22nd issue for the betterment of the state of writing in this wide brown land and beyond.

Head along to the Old Colonial Hotel in Fitzroy (specifically, 127 Brunswick Street) on December the 9th at around 7.30 and be amazed by the ways that we've found to combine the seemingly disparate worlds of literature and golf. We've got literary wunderkinder Simon Hall and Nathan Curnow battling to reach par in a putt-for-putt poetry match. We've got poets extraordinaire Aminah Hughes and jeltje teeing off in sequence. We've got raffle prizes including book vouchers, DVDs and alcohol. We've got world-champion MC Peter Salmon doing what he does best. And if that's not enough, we've got free showbags for the first 100 punters through the door.

Oh, and we're selling the book for cheap, too. Five bucks gets you entry for the gig, and ten bucks gets you entry with a copy of the book for your very own to take home and love and hug and squeeze and call George.

See you there, no?
