When festivities surrounding <a href="http://artsandvenuesdenver.com/imagine-2020/the-plan">Imagine Denver 2020</a> take place four years from now, <i>A Western Capitol Hill</i> will surely be recognized as the Great Capitol Hill Denver Novel (if not the Great American Novel or the Great Denver Novel). <br />

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
Reading Gregory Daurer's novel <i>A Western Capitol Hill </i>is a bit
like taking a long ride on the Number 15 bus — eclectic, disorienting,
occasionally appalling, but never dull. Part picaresque, part political
spoof, the ebook focuses on unsavory goings-on in the Denver of a decade
ago, from the gold dome of the Statehouse to some thinly disguised
local bars and restaurants to alleys favored by the dissolute and the
homeless, where a serial killer known as the Denver Decapitator plies
his trade. And yes, just like in the cheap horror movies favored by
legendary drive-in movie-fan Joe Bob Briggs, heads do roll. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
An
early scene unfolds on the Colfax bus, where a hapless, heavily
medicated passenger sees dragons menacing his town. He's not unlike the
pigeons outside the City and County Building — which, we soon learn, are
being fed a hallucinogenic drug "used by business property owners to
discourage birds from loitering." There's a touch of William S.
Burroughs in that kind of humor, and more than a jigger of Hunter S.
Thompson, too...</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The episodic plot — a series of riffs on yesterday's headlines,
including one about a transgendered real estate agent squaring off with a
religious-right politician over gay adoptions — seems slightly dated,
and the satire is surprisingly gentle. The writing is admirably deadpan
overall, but in places could have used the kind of rigorous copyediting
that's usually missing from self-published ebooks. (Point of disclosure:
Daurer consulted me briefly about Colorado prisons in the course of his
research, but I had no input into the actual manuscript.) Still, there
are some engaging moments involving a please-like-me, Hickenlooperish
mayor named Mockingbird, some artful history and nostalgia concerning
such vanished Denver institutions as the downtown Woolworth's, and even a
cameo appearance by the ghost of Molly Brown. What's not to like about
that?</blockquote>

The redoubtable <a href="http://www.examiner.com/review/review-who-shot-the-water-buffalo-by-ken-babbs">Ken Babbs</a> introduced this reporter to local writer Gregory Daurer aka singer and songwriter <a href="http://gregoryego.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gregory Ego</a>, who will be appearing as the second featured performer in the now monthly (every first Monday at 7) <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/book-signing-denver-beat-guide-news-and-spoken-word-invite">Them Punk Arts</a>
variety shows at Mutiny Information Café hosted by myself and attended
by a smattering of ever more unpredictable types wandered in off the
street or saw our ad on Facebook, beating drums, blowing pipes,
performing magic, doing improve acting reading from Shakespeare or
giving a lesson on plumbing. Besides being a singer and writer of songs
who plays a mean guitar, Mr. Daurer is the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Western-Capitol-Hill-Gregory-Daurer-ebook/dp/B00UZUAKSW/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1435537904&sr=1-1&keywords=Gregory+Daurer" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Western Capitol Hill</a>, a darkly comedic tale of lust and avarice, set in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qfda2vKWcg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">New West</a>,
complete with bad sex, bad drugs, and bad rock ‘n’ roll; it's barbed
satire as applicable to our recent national zeitgeist as it is to the
Mile High City. Daurer will also be performing a few of his songs at the
event. His guitar playing is jagged and even tempered. <br />
<br />
"Denver deserves satire that doesn't present the city in the best of light," Daurer says. "My novel, <i>A Western Capitol Hill,</i> spotlights Denver in a fashion similar to how <i>A Confederacy of Dunces</i>
treats New Orleans, Portlandia pokes fun at Portland, and the films of
John Waters dish out the violent and trashy sides of Baltimore.
Similarly, my music takes on themes familiar within my fiction writing:
loss, dislocation, off-kilter ideologies. The songs are witty, acerbic
visions of life on this wonderful--yet heartbreaking--Planet Earth."
The first thing that happens in Daurer’s book is linkage of present or
near present day <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/growing-up-literary-denver">Denver</a>
ethos with that of the early dwellers by invoking the timeless train
spine riding the same land from ever since, and the prairie dogs who’ve
been watching with ears perked beside their burrowed out holes for the
same length of time, hosting readers into the perfect timeless bubble to
digest his brand of humor. Then a collection of both legally and
illegally medicated local characters dish the mythos of <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/the-joy-of-killing-by-harry-n-maclean-release-party-at-tattered-cover-july-30th">Colfax Ave.</a>
longest street in the west from within the battered hull of an accursed
number Fifteen bus. At which point, readers are introduced to a city
worker named Rafael employed to administer hallucinogenic poison to
deter pigeons from crapping on the State capitol. “It scares the other
birds away when one of them starts freaking out for no apparent reason.
The pigeon that’s tripping its brains out might recover. But many
don’t.” Then we meet the Senator who appeals to Jehovah concerning his
flat tire, and meet the sympathetic Garrett, who doesn’t feel sure about
anything, really, but keeps on going, day by day, in search of any
driving reason to continue. Antidepressant <a href="http://www.examiner.com/review/patty-hearst-and-the-twinkie-murders-a-tale-of-two-trials-by-paul-krassner">drugs</a>?

<a href="http://gregoryego.com/" target="_blank">Gregory
Daure</a>r has been selected as the featured artist for the July 6th
edition of the monthly variety show Them Punk Arts. The event will
take place at <a href="http://mutinyinfocafe.com/" target="_blank">Mutiny
Information Cafe</a> (2 S. Broadway, Denver) on Monday July 6, 2015 from
7-10 p.m. (Daurer will begin at approximately 8:30 p.m.)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
Daurer will be reading from his novel
<a href="http://awesterncapitolhill.com/" target="_blank"><i>A
Western Capitol Hill</i></a>, a darkly comedic tale of lust and
avarice, set in the New West, complete with bad sex, bad drugs, and
bad rock ‘n’ roll; it's barbed satire as applicable to our recent
national zeitgeist as it is to the Mile High City. Daurer will also
be performing a few of his songs.<br />
<br />
Daurer records music under
the moniker <a href="http://gregoryego.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Gregory
Ego</a>, in addition to participating on the sonic collaboration
<a href="http://reverendleadpipe.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Reverend
Lead Pipe & His Pipe-Wielding Swingers</a>. As a freelance writer
and photographer, Daurer has been published by <i>Juxtapoz</i>,
<i>Salon</i>, <i>5280</i>, <i>Headpress</i>, <i>The Huffington Post</i>,
<i>Draft</i>, <i>Culture</i>, and <i>High Times</i>. His interviews
with noted authors (T.C. Boyle, Tom Robbins, William Gibson, Allen
Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs) have been reprinted by, or cited
within, scholarly books and a documentary film. <i>A Western Capitol
Hill</i> is his first novel.<br />
<br />
"Denver deserves satire that
doesn't present the city in the best of light," Daurer says. "My
novel <i>A Western Capitol Hill</i> spotlights Denver in a fashion
similar to how <i>A Confederacy of Dunces</i> treats New Orleans,
<i>Portlandia</i> pokes fun at Portland, and the films of John Waters
dish out the violent and trashy sides of Baltimore. Similarly, my
music takes on themes familiar within my fiction writing: loss,
dislocation, off-kilter ideologies. The songs are witty, acerbic
visions of life on this wonderful--yet heartbreaking--Planet Earth."</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
Them Punk Arts is a monthly variety
show hosted by author <a href="http://rentparty.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Zack
Kopp</a>, The show has presented musicians, poets, monologists,
authors, and magicians. Kopp also recently published the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Denver-Beat-Scene-History-Guide/dp/1626197792" target="_blank"><i>The
Denver Beat Scene</i></a>, which spotlights <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/book-release-announcing-the-denver-beat-scene" target="_blank">Denver's
connection to literary figures</a> like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg,
and Neal Cassady. (Kopp and Daurer were first introduced to each
other, via email, by Ken Kesey and Neal Cassady's fellow Merry
Prankster, the author Ken Babbs.)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>When Gregory stands in front of the museum's green screen, everything turns all Tolkienesque.</b></span></div>
<br />
On the same day that my novel <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Western-Capitol-Hill-Gregory-Daurer-ebook/dp/B00UZUAKSW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427929279&sr=8-1&keywords=a+western+capitol+hill" target="_blank"><i>A Western Capitol Hill</i></a> was published, a new exhibit called <a href="http://www.dmns.org/mythic-creatures/" target="_blank">Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids</a> opened at the <a href="http://www.dmns.org/" target="_blank">Denver Museum of Nature & Science</a>. A fine synchronicity.<br />
<br />
The exhibition delineates the difference between Eastern and Western dragons: i.e., as incarnations of either "good" (in Eastern cultures) or "evil" (in Western). It's a realm also explored within my book.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, there might be more than a passing resemblance between the dragon that I'm standing next to in the image above (visitors can create their own photo souvenir at the exhibit) and the Denver Dragon in my novel--which comes complete with orange skin and blue eyes (see Larry Hubbell's cover illustration for <i>A Western Capitol Hill</i>).<br />
<br />
The museum, itself, receives a mention in my novel:<br />
<br />

plans on taking a busload of children on a field trip to the Denver

confront the messages that the kids have been receiving from secular
society regarding Creation, regarding Genesis. </span></span></span>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He’ll
teach the students that a “Godless evolutionist” had written the
exhibits’ scholarly texts, which are “wrong, wrong, wrong”
regarding the origins of geological formations and the time line upon
which animals had first appeared. He’ll discuss how God created
dinosaurs on the sixth day, along with Adam. He’ll mention how
dinosaurs are referred to in the bible as “leviathans” or
“behemoths.” </span></span></span>

<b> Artist Larry Hubbell (aka Harry Lyrico) displaying his preliminary work for the cover of <i> </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>A Western Capitol Hill</i>.</b></div>
<br />
A few years ago, I wrote about artist <a href="http://gregoryegophotos.blogspot.com/search/label/Harry%20Lyrico" target="_blank">Harry Lyrico</a>, mentioning how I enjoyed a surrealist sort of cartoon strip of his that used to run in the Denver arts magazine <i>Icon</i> back in the early '90s.<br />
<br />
What I didn't know about Lyrico back then is that his real name is <a href="http://studiolyrico.blogspot.com/">Larry Hubbell</a>--the name he's also produced work under, on and off, over the years. I also didn't know that he once did a <a href="http://www.birminghamfreepress.com/v9/0313.html" target="_blank">split-comic for Last Gasp</a> back in 1973. Or that his 1983 newave mini-comic <i>White Boy Goes to Hell</i> was reproduced in a <a href="http://www.fantagraphics.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=1651&category_id=479&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=62&vmcchk=1&Itemid=62" target="_blank">book published by Fantagraphics</a>. Or that he once did a strip called "Homeless in Hollywood" published in the <a href="http://www.laweekly.com/2001-11-01/news/homeless-in-hollywood-a-diary/" target="_blank">LA Weekly</a>. Hubbell has been a long-time Denver illustrator and print maker; in fact, I became reacquainted with him at an <a href="http://www.westword.com/arts/mark-lunning-celebrates-25-years-of-printmaking-5123735" target="_blank">exhibit at the McNichol's Building</a> organized by master printmaker Mark Lunning, whose collaboration with Harry Lyrico was one of the oldest pieces on display.<br />
<br />
It's been a pleasure getting to know Hubbell/Lyrico better over the past few
months, while having him produce my novel's cover illustration. And although I'm never quite sure whether to address him as "Harry" or "Larry" whenever I call him on the phone (often alternating), he doesn't seem to mind.<br />

The "World's Largest Discount Laundromat" shutters its
doors. Smiley's Laundromat on East Colfax in Denver is now an ex-clothes
cleaning emporium. I don't know if it ever made the Guinness Book of
World Records for its stated size. However, hoisting a Guinness in its
wake seems appropriate.<br />

<br />
From <i>A Western Capitol Hill</i>:<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A
mandala-like pattern spins. In his mind’s eye, Garrett finds
himself back at the Capitol. He rises skywards towards the Capitol
dome, up past the portraits of the Presidents of the United States on
the third floor. Like saltwater taffy impersonating Chubby Checker,
his brain twists, twists, and twists again. His mind whirls like a
Dervish on a merry-go-round.</span></span></span><br />
