Shortly before we closed “Wink Davidson,” Brian Bannon, who played Chuck, mentioned he would be reading some of his fiction at Eyedrum.
Imagine our pride when we discovered that he was reading as one of the winners of the 2007 Creative Loafing Fiction Writing Contest.
His piece, “Awkward Racial Overtones,” inspired by the contest theme of “scratch” goes inside the heads of several patrons and a hapless employee of a local Bojangles’ fast food restaurant.
What we found most impressive, however, is that CL managed to get a photo of the elusive Bannon. Patrons of his Savage Tree theatrical exploits know that more often than not, he is represented on the call board as a bottle of pills or rabid crowd of fight fans.
Congratulations Brian! We’re very proud of you!
