The Black Clock
Last night, all the literati dressed down and turned up at the launch party for the Black Clock, the new Cal Arts lit mag. We're sure it was very interesting — if you like hearing people read aloud from things you could read in the privacy of your own home, between reality shows. Fortunately, a reader was thinking exactly what we've all been thinking:
Now, I'm actually in the early stages of starting a journal, and we vetted about a million names before settling on one. And part of that discussion was "How could this name be made fun of?"
That being said, am I to believe these people at Cal-Arts had a meeting in which no one raised their hand and said "Um, doesn't this sound a little too much like Black Cock?"
