the manager SLAMS!

hey everyone! we *just* finished- what i think was- a very successful "poetry night". my friend trevor from diesel opened up, reading very vivid selections from his newly-published book! some were gothic inspired but the real joy was hearing his series "punch": poems from the point of view of punch (from medieval morality play and later slap-stick puppet box punch and judy fame).

i read a couple of pieces from back in my competitive slam-poet days. it was nice to sir them before a new audience and really made me realise how much i miss performing and competing.

after, the floor was opened up and quite a diverse range of people read. new faces, regular faces...it truly was a delight to hear so many people willing to share what normally is a very private part of them.

well...there are only 2 weeks of THIS series of thursdays at b'sweet left.

next week- a benefit event for the artist-in-residence program at Children's Hospital.
and the following week- apples to apples (the MENSA award-winning game)!!!

hope to see you there.
