“Anthony Bedard's day job is booking live shows for Hemlock Tavern, but he's also got his own band résumé that includes playing drums in the Icky Boyfriends and fronting Hank IV. He also once collaborated with academic activist Howard Zinn to sue his undergrad institution in a First Amendment case, handled the death masks of executed anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti while working in a Rare Books department, and toiled at a marketing agency alongside the man who invented the super-size fast food concept. You can bet that Bedard's got some stories to tell. Come listen to him at Porchlight, the monthly storytelling series founded by local literary heroines Beth Lisick and Arline Klatte. Bedard and five other handpicked storytellers regale the audience with ten-minute true stories, no notes allowed. This month's theme is Magic 8-Ball in honor of Porchlight's eighth birthday. Shake it up and expect some magic tonight.”
