This is not your father’s book launch party. Sorry, no wine and cheese, and no harpist in the corner.
“Blue Vegas,” the second title from CityLife Books, will debut on Tuesday, March 2, at the famous Double Down Saloon in Las Vegas.
The Double Down happens to be owned by the author of “Blue Vegas,” P Moss. It’s an internationally known watering hole, famous for its signature drink, Ass Juice, as well as for kick-ass punk rock music and a general vibe that is completely at odds — on purpose — with the schmaltz and glitz of the Las Vegas Strip.
The setting for the launch party is consistent with the mission of “Blue Vegas,” a short story collection that cuts through the public image of Las Vegas and delivers the straight story, the dark realities of life outside the neon glare.
The event will run from 8 to 10 p.m., and will include freak show performances, a reading by the author and other blow-your-mind experiences.
This promises to be the literary event of the year in Las Vegas and beyond.
