Wild Ink, a live arts and music event, will be held at P.A.’s Lounge on Thursday, August 20th. Wild Ink is a fundraiser for the Boston Comics Roundtable, and will include amazing live comics creation, artistic head-to-head showdowns, the world’s most unusual live sketch gallery, big raffle prizes, and live music from Rotary.
Created in 2006, the Boston Comics Roundtable is a collective of comics creators in the Greater Boston area. Its mission: to network, teach, workshop, encourage, and publish the best and brightest artists and writers in the creation of comics. All proceeds will benefit the upcoming publication of Inbound #4, A Comics Anthology, featuring local artists taking on the strange but true history of Boston.
The event begins at 9 p.m. (doors at 8 p.m.) at P.A.’s Lounge (345 Somerville Ave., 617-776-1557). This is an 18+ show. Tickets are $12, paid at the door.

P.A.’s Lounge has been inaccessible far back as I can remember, and now it is temporarily more so, as a result of Somerville Avenue Reconstruction. If the late great David Omar White- a nationally syndicated cartoonist who lived on Highland Avenue- was still alive, he would be unable to attend this fun-sounding event. Not because he was unAble in any way- but because majority America continues to segregate and exclude folks who are liberated via wheelchair mobility.
here is a picture of P.A’s front:

and here, in case you wondered if they had an “alternate accessible” back entrance, is their back entrance:

Maybe we can set a new trend and refuse to advertise events that are held in inaccessible locations, out of solidarity with people who are still being excluded.
