Next week! Author Chris Wrenn, in conversation with Ethan Gilsdorf, will discuss WrennKs new book Fenway Punk.
Since his salad days as a teenage skateboarder, Chris Wrenn has focused on two tasks: releasing albums for his favorite bands and finding unusual ways to pay for it. The indie record label that he started three decades ago in his college dorm room, Bridge Nine, has gained an international following by releasing over three hundred recordings from some of the most impactful bands in the punk music underground. At the same time, Sully’s, the Beantown-centric brand that Chris founded with an initial goal: to earn the money needed to fund the record label, went from profiting on bitter sports rivalries to celebrating all things Boston. The slogan that he coined in the spring of 2004, “Believe In Boston,” has become a rallying cry embraced by all of the city’s professional sports teams twenty years later.
Ethan Gilsdorf is the author of the award-winning memoir Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks. His work appears in the New York Times, Washington Post, Esquire, Wired, O the Oprah Magazine, Huffington Post, Brevity, Electric Literature, Poetry, and The Southern Review, and is named “Notable” in Best American Essays. He teaches at GrubStreet, where he leads the Essay Incubator program; at LitArts RI; is on the faculty of Solstice MFA Program at Lasell University; and teaches how to play Dungeons & Dragons.
