The Roadshow is pay-what-you-can.
Daniel Trese is a self-taught American artist based out of Miami, Florida. He makes books from pictures, text, and ephemera that document periods and places in his life. His latest book, Walking Backwards, is published by Adolescent (a small company that is making work from a distinctly queer perspective). The book covers a period of eight months most of which was spent in Detroit, Michigan. Visit http://www.adolescentbooks.com
Jennifer Whiteford lives in Ottawa, Ontario, where she works in a bookstore, teaches college courses, and writes fiction. She is a nearsighted vegetarian with an allergy to cheese. Her personal zine of stories and comics, Matilda, just celebrated its five-year anniversary. Jennifer's long-time-coming first novel, Grrrl, (published by Gorsky Press in April 2006) is a punk rock coming-of-age story set in Toronto's suburbs in the early '90s. To satisfy her internal music geek and her love of free records, Jennifer also reviews albums and interviews bands for Razorcake Magazine. Her online blog, http://www.matildazine.org, will delight those who enjoy tales of biking to rock shows and pictures of rottweilers.
Jeff Cottrill is a fiction writer and spoken-word performer whose stage act uses elements of performance poetry, comedy, theatre, storytelling... even the occasional puppet. With a satirical, often darkly comic flavour, he likes to make his audiences laugh, cringe, or (preferably) both. He has also written film reviews, arts articles, and even (gasp!) relationship self-help. Jeff has featured in many Toronto literary shows as well as in several U.S. cities and even in London, England. In 2005, he released his first CD, Cracktastic!, and he has also had two chapbooks published. Jeff likes movies, travel, and puppies. jeffcottrill.coffeehouse.ca
