Villains Reading

Hey all, a bit of good news.
Chris, Kyle, and I were galavanting at Villains after workshop and the manager got to talking with us (you know, he sees us there just about every wed....). Anyway, he found out we were poets and offered his bar as space to have a reading during a weekday.
I'm super excited, I think we should have a reading of the poems that have been workshopped so far in Poet's Collective. I figured a Wednesday or Thursday night after our workshops would be best (9:30pm). Let me know what you think cause I'm gonna call him tomorrow and get something arranged either March 11th or 12th.
Also, the "Gone with the Wind" poetry craziness is going to be rescheduled for March 14th. I'll post later when and where.
C-ya Cool Cats,
Kristin

PS: Next meeting is Monday March 2nd 5th floor Congress Building (5:30pm)

Now that We aren't All Dying of Influenza

Our next meeting will be Monday at 5:30ish in the E. Congress Building 5th floor. Bring poems, t-shirt ideas, etc. Also, I wanted to remind everyone to keep Saturday Night, March 7th open for the Gone With the Wind poetry marathon. We can talk more about this later.
Hugs,
Kristin

MEATing

What a good crew we are (and poor Izzy and Kyle with the sickness :( ). I hope you both get better soon!
For those of us in decent health, and whatever free alcohol was given away during AWP does NOT count as a reason for poor health, I will see you tomorrow around 5pm on the 5th floor of the 33 E Congress building.
Bring a poem.

Love and more love,
Kristin

AWP and Poetried Out?

Hey team,
I was thinking about Monday's meeting and also how everyone was "poetried out" by Saturday after AWP. How many would still be up for a meeting and how many would like a break? Let me know so we can think about it (I personally wouldn't mind a break or at least waiting until Friday for the meeting).
So long for now,
Kristin

Monday Night Meetings?

I believe Monday night was the night that seemed to work best for everyone, so we are going to continue having meetings then unless we run into any problems.
Anyway, here's the full info on our next meeting--

Where: Dolly's Apartment- 5860 N Kenmore Apt 801 (red line Thorndale stop)
When: Monday Feb. 8th at 7:30pm

If you have any problems getting there, call Dolly at 414-559-5676 or me at 586-747-2598.
Bring a poem you want to share or have workshopped!

Go Tony Go

Esteemed Colleagues,

Tony is reading on Friday at St. Mark's Cultural Center (off the Damen Blue Line stop) at 7 pee em. You should come to that.

Conan the Barbarian is crushing enemies, driving them before his sword, and hearing the lamentations of their kin at our apartment (1636 N. Talman 2R) following the reading. You should come to that, too.

Did I mention that there will be not one, but two (2) (II) movies featuring the riddle of steel in all its perplexing glory? Enticing.

Please see the attached flyer for more pulsating details.

Questions, concerns, prayers to Crom can be directed to this email address or twofoureight sevenohone sevenfivesixfive.

Please forward this to interested parties I may have neglected. All are welcome to share in the wisdom of the Cimmerian.

Crom!
Chris

Next Meeting and Elbowing Off the Stage

Everyone who can make it come to my place 1636 N. Talman Ave. (a walk from the Western Blue line) for a poet's collective meeting tomorrow at 6pm. Bring in whatever you're working on, and we can talk about the semester's plans.

Afterward, we can head over to the Elbowing off the Stage Reading, which is within walking distance from my apartment (7:30).

Hope everyone's semester is off to a good start!
