Cancer as a Social Activity
He doesn't have top billing, but Mike IX Williams, lead singer for sludgy hardcore metal band EyeHateGod, is giving his first reading from his 2005 book Cancer as a Social Activity at Octavia Books (513 Octavia St.; www.octaviabooks.com) at 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11. Headliner Eugene Marten will read from his gritty novel Firework. Michael Patrick Welch will read from The Donkey Show and Ryan Scully will play acoustic music.
