Slake No. 3 Launch Party ~ August 26th

Slake: Los Angeles is throwing a bash in Atwater to celebrate the release of SLAKE No. 3: "War and Peace". The party will feature food from the Ludotruck and Let's Be Frank, beer from Strand Brewing, and free joe all night long from Handsome Coffee. Music will be provided by Ojo. More info and tickets available here.

If you don't know Slake, let them explain better then we could:

Slake: Los Angeles, the quarterly reader cofounded by former L.A. Weekly editors Joe Donnelly and Laurie Ochoa, is devoted to the endangered art of deeply reported narrative journalism and the kind of polished essay, memoir, fiction, poetry, and profile writing that is disappearing in a world of instant takes and unfiltered opinion. Slake marks a return to storytelling.

Slake No.3 "War and Peace" examines conflict from the perspectives of soldiers, survivors, bounty hunters, tweakers, surfers, and more. It's available at select newsstands and online now.

Joseph Trigilio, executive director of the Loyola Project for the Innocent, says he doesn’t know why it’s taken the attorney general so long to start reviewing cases.
