Okay, that's a bad pun (Potential Energy? I need some of that!)
I got a D in Physics 101. Which is my disclaimer for this post.
But seriously, there’s a lotta energy going on these next coupla months. Such as:
The March Writer’s Buzz, where we’ll all chat about slush piles (what’s the coefficient of friction for three poem stuck into a #10 envelope?), the state of lit journals, and such. March 22, 2008, 10 to noon PM at Tattered Cover, LoDo. Free for Lighthousers. The rest need to pony up $10. Or, heck, get a membership.
And a second Buzz: Your Writing Career: Publishing, Marketing, and Honing the Craft in 2008, on Saturday, March 8, 10 AM to 11:15 AM, at the Mayor’s Expo on Building Creative Businesses. Should be fun!
Then, a fantastic performance with lighthouse and Telling Stories---called “Voiceovers”---at the Mercury Café, April 4.Yours truly (Mike Henry), Shari Caudron, Jennie Dorris, and Janine Fritz will be performing original works with musical accompaniment. Starts at 7:00 PM. Patchouli, that person who speaks to you inside your head (classic Freudian voiceover to be sure), tin flutes and/or tubas suggested, but not mandatory.
Crud. That means I have to write a new essay about that.
Last, and hoppy-good not least, our Denver Poet Laureate Chris Ransick is hosting a special night of poetry and brews called Liquid Poetry at the Wynkoop Brewery, Friday, April 11, at 7 p.m. It will feature live music, door prizes, a beer-themed poetry contest, and readings from featured poets Mike Henry, JD Frey, and Joy Sawyer.
Crud. That means I have to write a new poem about beer. Hiccup.
