a reading, with actual planning
Apr. 13th, 2007 04:13 pmNow that I've caught my breath and gotten my bearings back, it's time to do some actual planning. Satyrday, April 28, at my place, starting at seven, I'm hosting a Reading. Bring yourself and something (or perhaps several somethings) to read aloud, that you expect other people to enjoy. Or just bring yourself and soak up the atmosphere and conversation.
I can provide tea and various cola-based beverages, and some variety of munchies as well. Should you desire alcohol, I'm afraid you'll need to supply your own, though it's perfectly welcome.
What to read? Individual pieces preferably no longer than about fifteen minutes, and closer to ten is probably better. Read it through once, out loud, beforehand. This will give you an idea of how long it is (longer than you think), and also familiarize you with the unexpectedly weird words and phrases. I'll be reading mostly John M. Ford; definitely a trimmed-down version of "All Our Propagation" and probably another poem or three as well. (Be forewarned: I may attempt to draft others present into reading, or singing, bits of "A Little Scene to Monarchize.")
RSVP here, or to my LJ email, or in person, or not at all but then we're a lot less likely to wait for you before getting started. Hope to see and hear you there.
