March 10 Now we're cookin'...I have no idea how I planned to measure success for this kooky venture,
but I feel successful now. The March 7th event was fantastic, even with
a game playing in the next room. We turned a negative into a positive by mocking the sports fans in the next room and jeering when the obnoxious "goal scored" siren went off...only twice, those pansies! I really like that we have so many regulars now, and new people are actually coming to me with inquiries. Very cool! Plus, I can invite cute boys and then make everyone leave early...who says poetry ain't sexy?? February 02 That's it, we're jinxed! NEW LOCATIONMelrose Cafe
730 - 17 Ave SW
We're booked in the Atrium on the bar side, so just mention The Red Mile Revenge when you arrive. (And remember to bring I.D.)
What does it all mean? Can sports and arts co-exist in peace? It seems we're going to find out...! December 09 Next event...who's in??
December 07 Can you hear the BUZZ....Happy Premiere!!WOW!!! Did I ever have a fun night. Sometimes, the crappy thing about organizing an event is that you never get to enjoy it. Well, I dodged that bullet tonight. I had a fantastic time and I think (hope) everyone in attendance did as well!
We had 10!! readers, all of them really fabulous, a lot of variety in styles and themes but it went well together.
Stuart Ian McKay- Haunting and lovely Alberta-inspired works, and a very personal remembrance
Lisa Rose Berreth- Working the crowd with her intimate and sharp dialogue- short and sweet, just like her!
Kirk Ramdath- a longer work on a broken relationship... with TV. A big crowd pleaser!
Danielle Arsenault- The consumate performer...well-crafted recollections of her adventures
Liz McMullen-Shakespeare tribute and some lovely works of love and longing
David Van Belle- Hilarious monologue of a frustrated performer and other poems of interest
Terisa Klassen- Erotica at its most lyrical
Jenn Roberts- A tongue-in-cheek look at publishing and some visually arresting short works
Fred Hollis- Steamy and racy to the extreme..not for family listening!
Eugene Stickland- poetry, playacting and a sneak preview of an upcoming play!
As usual, I'm blown away by the sheer talent that resides in my little world...come share it again on January 3rd!! December 03 Three Days until the Premiere!!Yoinks, did the time ever get away from me...how can it be December?? But that's ok, things have really fallen into place. The set list is amazing...I can't believe what a great variety of people have signed up, it's going to be a fabulous night. Here's the list so far...:
