I am in Sutton, approximately one mile off rte. 146: in other words, right on your way to Providence. I was going to go to GotPoetry Live with radioactiveart but he is busy up until the reading. I have no car. Is anyone from Worcester going down to Providence and could maybe swing by and pick me up? It's seriously only like 5 minutes out of the way ( Read more... )

The Edgar Allen Poe reading last night was good, elbow-patchy fun. I saw several faces I haven't seen in a very long time. quixote82!! There was a mix of fiction and poetry, first by writing contest winners and then in an open mic. My friend and I were horrified and then tickled by an excerpt of a short story that we at first thought was unironic. Okay ( Read more... )

Poetry, friends and politics were the theme this week, concluding with more poetry and friends today at the E.A. Poe event at the Deer Park this afternoon. I'm skipping out of work early for that one. The Poe event is having an open mic and a Poe-ish slam (of sorts). I tried to write a creepy flash fiction piece, but since I haven't written ( Read more... )

Because I am a Mod. Oh wait, wrong kind of Mod.

...because I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person to write surreal prose poetry while listening to Bitches Brew. I might be the only one to do it perfectly sober on a Thursday afternoon, however. Girls Night Out tonight. Gotta go get glamourous, brb.

And you want to go, you know you do. Newark Arts Alliance, Market East Plaza, Main St, Newark DE. Next to the Chinese grocery, across from the yoga studio, behind the co-op and comic shop. Plenty o' free parking, even. 3 bucks at the door.

I had half-price veggie burger and happy hour-priced wine at the Deer Park with my girls before poetry. The workshop went well, with Inno and I tag-teaming from our seperate notes. I read 'Richard Cory' by EA Robinson in my most obnoxious, air-slicing 'slam voice' which got many laughs and made my point, especially after I read it a second time in ( Read more... )

I crashed out at 9:15 and woke up at 3:30. Now it's 5:00 and I'm wide awake. I'm giving a workshop tonight that I'm woefully underqualified for. The woman I'm giving it with is impossible to pin down so I have no idea if she has anything prepped. I'm working on what I want to say and we'll probably riff off that. My favorite talking point so far: ' ( Read more... )

Tuesday. Poetry. Open mic ( Read more... )

Girl's night out was canceled tonight. Boo! I shall order takeout and clean my apartment instead. I have had a fun week so far. The Breeders were fantastic: it really knocked my socks off. I saw the Strangers Monday. Meh. It served its purpose which was to be air conditioned and not have anything to do with fantasy novels or superheroes. Yesterday ( Read more... )
