Begining the New Semester (with great news!)

As we dust off our collective cobwebs and warm up for the rest of the semester, I figured it would be a good idea to post a general meeting time/ place.

It seems as though Fridays at 4pm on the 5^th floor of the Congress Building is a good time and location for most. If this causes problems for anyone, let me know and maybe we can find another spot.

Also, it’s time to think about the Gladiator Reading Series. I’ll do a bit of leg work to see if filling out some paper work can get us a spot on campus. If not, we may be able to continue having the readings at Villains, but I need to talk with the manager.

Finally, I want to throw a big shout out to Mykhiel for winning The National Poetry Review’s Laureate Prize for her poem “Southhampton turned Suffer into Suffolk.” You’re amazing and we love you.

Hey Team!

Hope y'all are having a wonderful summer! I've started a new project at http://curiocity-io.blogspot.com/ if anyone's interested in following. After so many years of blogging on Livejournal, I'm finding this interface & FAQ a bit non-intuitive, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. :-)

Next Reading and Upcoming Videos

Hideaki is almost through with the videos from the last reading (joy!), and they will be posted soon.

In other news, we have a reading coming up:
So be sure to come!

Also, we should start thinking about Collective meeting times over the summer as well as Collective meeting places. Let me know what day(s)/ time(s) will be best.
Happy End of the Semester,
Kristin

Recap

Hey Team,
Here's a recap of what we decided in today's meeting:

Complete ASAP--
1. Send Chris a poem for Poem in Your Pocket Day
2. Females-- get your submission to Burdock
[EDIT]
3. Think of a name for the Villain's reading series. Are we calling it "Gladiators"?

For next Monday (27th) Remember to bring for poem in your pocket day--
1. A White T-shirt
2. Any puffy paint you have around
3. Any mustaches you have lying around

***Next Reading is scheduled for May 20th and will feature Me (damn pinkie swearing...), Kyle Miner, and Becca Klaver. Chris and Stevie will MC. Chris will make posters on time, and I'm sure we can do some fun posters on the side. People like variety.

Laters,
Kristin

Next Reading

"Gone With the Wind" Movie and Poetry Marathon

Now that we have finally met up for the movie watching fest, let's take those notes and turn them into poems. I hope we can all get at least three out of the movie. And if someone doesn't write a poem titled: "Ponies: Not a Good Toy", than I don't think we can call ourselves poets.

I hope we can get the poems written, edited, and put in a chapbook in time for April 30th (poem in your pocket day). Best gift ever for our friends and mentors.
Out,
Kristin
