INTERACTIVE LIT at
Writers With Drinks:

The spoken word show that keeps a spare ferret in its lunchbox will be
back this Saturday. It'll be like a crazy spiral staircase of stimuli that
echo louder the deeper you go. This time around, Writers With Drinks will
belike a personal-trauma improv storytelling jam.
We'll pass a big hat, and you'll write down your deepest and scar-tissuest personal trauma that you've never told anyone about.
And then each performer will randomly select a trauma to riff on. Maybe poet Lisa Ortiz will write a poem about your pain, or maybe comedian Ray Ferrer will spin a comedy routine out of it. Maybe Window Seat author Gregory Dicum will create a panoramic view that includes your deepest terror as a feature on the landscape, or Susan Stinson will build a queer narrative out of it. Or maybe Jess Arndt will spin a sexy hot story about it! .....

Saturday, March 12, from 7:30 to 9:30,
doors open at 7:00 pm

[ PS from anarchists(?): "Once your protest occurs you may be interested in posting a report about it to The Direct Action Media Network (DAMN), a multi-media news service that gathers and distributes reports about protests, marches, strikes and other progressive direct actions. DAMN news reaches thousands of activists, soon-to-be-activists and interested non-activists around the world through our mailing lists (damn [at] tao.ca, damn-index [at] tao.ca) and web site
( http://damn.tao.ca ). If you post news about your direct actions onto DAMN they'll make sure that it gets into the hands of members of their network who will spread the word through their own mailing lists and publications. Contact DAMN at "damn [at] tao.ca" for reporters' guidelines and information about how to post your information. ]
