Schlock-Wire: Get Ready For IMPOSSIBLY FUNKY's Fall Book Release Tour
Big news for schlock-loving bibliophiles: Mike White is not only releasing Impossibly Funky, his updated/expanded best of Cashiers Du Cinemart compilation, this fall - he's taking it on the road! White has assembled an impressive itinerary of promotional appearances that extends from mid-September to the beginning of December to spread the good word about his book (which will be reviewed at Schlockmania very soon). The following is a breakdown of White's itinerary, lifted from the Impossibly Funky blog. Read on for all the schlock-touring details...Impossibly Funky Comes from Detroit to Conquer the World! 
For fourteen years Detroit author/editor Mike White toiled nights and weekends on his movie zine Cashiers du Cinemart. Starting as a scrappy xerox and stapled publication, the zine mutated over time to a magazine with international distribution, long after the siren song of the internet wooed most small publishers to its cheap epublishing. Now, the best of Cashiers du Cinemart has been collected into one volume, 2010's Impossibly Funky, a treasure trove of articles about film and popular culture.White will be appearing with various guest stars in a Midwest tour in Autumn 2010, reading, signing copies of his first book, and doing occasional movie/shorts screenings.
