Gender X Genre
I've been preparing for Gender X Genre tonight. This is a Rainbow Visions Festival event, and starts at 8pm tonight at the Royal Exchange on Bolton St, in the Newcastle CBD. Tickets are $10 waged / $5 concession.
So what is this? Well it's a poetry / prose reading by folk like myself. I'll be reading some of my poetry, and projecting and reading from some of my comics (excerpts from Hypergraphia 3 and Queer Stuff Vol. 1). I've been preparing for this all morning. Soon, I'll go to the uni and print out some of the stuff, so that other people can read from it, and also print Transitions, a collection of my poetry. If I'm lucky, people might buy my comics and the poetry collection.
But I'm also nervous as shit. I haven't been able to relax much today and I've felt on the verge of panic attack / collapse all morning. Just nerves, I guess. Thing is, I won't be coming home until it's all over, so I also need to leave food for the pets.
Wish me luck!?
