Daniel LéVesque is a Bay Area writer and performer. His debut novel, Hairdresser On Fire (Manic D Press), is arriving on bookshelves in early 2013. A 2011 participant of RADAR Productions annual LAB, his story “Excerpts from The Geographical Cure” is included in the anthology Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache: Adventures in the First Person (Alyson, 2004), under the pseudonym “El Lute.” In addition, he is an occasional contributor to Punk Globe Magazine. Danny is a repeat offender at San Francisco’s famed Porchlight Storytelling Series and the proud holder of the title “first boy ever allowed to tour with Sister Spit,” from back in 1999. He received hate mail from the ’99 tour, a memory he cherishes to this day, and would prefer more direct forms of heckling this time around. He lives in Oakland, CA, with the love of his life and their two dogs.
