A lit-mag launch usually means folding chairs in a bookstore; this one puts the readers inside the ropes of a working boxing ring below Park Place. Money Body Boys, the magazine from Marie Lachance's Nice Marie Mags press, pits its three subjects against each other, with contributors including Sophie Abromowitz, Danielle Chelosky and Sabrina Bustamante reading between DJ sets and live performances. If you like your downtown literary scene with theatre and a dress code, don't miss it.
What to expect
Expect a packed gym with the ring as the stage: writers step in to read short pieces on money, bodies and boys, while DJs fill the gaps and performers stage themed bits. Screen-printed merch is on hand, and the host asks guests to dress in vintage boxing chic.
Good to know
- RSVP on the Partiful page so the host can plan capacity.

Going? Keep it.
