I have a short thing up at Wigleaf, called "Pop Star Dead at 22."
Here's the first paragraph:
Do you know what it's like when Myspace tells you they have to pull your profile because you're getting too much traffic? When Spencer Pratt friends you on Facebook? And then the next day, Brody Jenner? I mean they are friending you. You know what that's like? I do, bro. It's fucking awesome.
Dave Housley is the author of Ryan Seacrest is Famous, a collection of short fiction that got called "hilarious" sometimes, and also "consistently engrossing, entertaining, and exciting," and some other nice stuff that you can check out here. His work has been published in Columbia, Nerve, Sycamore Review, and some other places. He's one of the founding editors of Barrelhouse, a literary magazine that bridges the gap between serious art and pop culture.
New stuff coming soon: How We Got from There to Here in Pindeldyboz, and Pop Star Dead at 22 in Wigleaf.
April 11: Conversations and Connections writer's conference in downtown DC. Check it out. Hint: post-conference Barrelhouse party at the Big Hunt, downstairs, 6:30.
