Wet Ink Recap
Oh, what an awesome night last night.
The Wet Ink erotic poetry show has really come into its own, with it's own format, style and audience. Donielle and Vernell have really done itup this last year, breaking into new venues with good shows, and really pulled out the stops last night for their one year anniversary. Featured readers, hot DJ Tom Noy, erotic toys for sale b Wanda, chocolates for everyone, a ambient-tuned Lodge bar space and an open mic list longer than your arm.
I did two pieces as a mini-feature. The first, entitled "I", I'd performed at a previous Wet Ink but did last night with edits and more energy and timing. It does have a few lines from my pre-2000 love poet days, but they fit. Not full-bore nasty, but certianly sexy.
I also did a piece I wrote the day of called "In Your Pants". It's a fun piece that's naughty, but not trifling. You know that verbal game people play where they end anything they say with "in your pants"? This whole poem is like that. I went out on a limb with this one, and it paid off big time. I found a part to edit near the end, so when I do it again somewhere out of town, it'll be tighter. This one is only for hot rooms with lots of energy, though.
I wrote another poem yesterday as well, but when asked to only do two poems, I cut it out of the sideboard. It's a good idea and a solid poem, but it deserves more time. I'd hate to burn an original idea on a lackluster effort. It's a love poem with some messaging framing it.
A great time. I'm glad I got the day off to compensate!
