Poetry and Stuff

I am really excited about tomorrow night (Monday). I am part of an event called Bye Bye Bush. The event features sets hosted by four different hosts (James Dewar, Edward Nixon, Dave Silverberg and Yehuda Fisher with an open mic set hosted by Jeff Cottrill). I am reading on Nixon's set. It takes place at Cervejaria at College and Ossington Streets. I was originally reluctant to get involved as a) Bush is/was not my president and b) there isn't much worth celebrating. However, I am happy an opportunity for change and thus hope for better days ahead in North America is coming.

Also Rochdale Rhymes and Readings takes place on Jan. 29th as we move to the first Thursday of the month (though obviously this is not the first Thursday). Lara Bozabalian, one of the first features at RDRR, as well one of my favourite writers anywhere, Edward Nixon (yes, him again) and Dayle Furlong will feature. It goes down at the Regal Beagle, beside the Bata Shoe Museum on Bloor St.
