We have two events coming up, both my favorite kind. Share & invite, if you would? A party and a reading. Getting the word out—
A writer’s mixer/social. Maybe you’ve been to one of these before? If not, it’s a chance to say hi, meet other writers, hang out. It’s about getting together. Nobody checks to see how many words you’ve written in a day, an hour, a lifetime. As long as you get there, you’re not arriving late. You’re on time. There’s no stage or open mic or quiet time. People are just lovely. It’s a way to hang out, talk to strangers who become friends, and keep the writing community strong, inviting and in touch with each other. Details: 6/11, a Sunday, at the Free House at 1325 NE Fremont St., Portland (Oregon, of course!). They open at 4:00, so I will show up at 4:00 and we’ll take over the back patio. Come visit! Stay for a moment, or all afternoon. I’ll probably be there about 4:00-7:00
New Work by Cool Writers! Aka “New Things.” This is a celebration of workshop, writing and spirit. This pack has been studying with me and with each other, and we’ve had a great time. I love them all. Come see what they’ve been up to! Your presence is a show of support, and I appreciate it! Also, if you’re interested in joining a round of workshop now or in the future, it’s a way to see who is part of it, what kind of work is being made and generally just say hello. Details: 6/6, a Tuesday. 7:00 at Blackbird Wine Shop & Atomic Cheese! That’s at 4323 NE Fremont. The shop closes at 7:00, and then it will be turned over to us. Whooo-hooo! Microphone on! xoxoxo
Be there?
