Slammin'

[serene]

[I don't have a bay-area-only filter, so please forgive me, those 90% of you who don't live close enough to attend this]

I plan to be at the Berkeley Poetry Slam every Wednesday night from now on, and to sign up to compete whenever I can, so if you're interested in a music/poetry/competition-type atmosphere, come on down to the Starry Plough some time and hang with me (and, sometimes, someotherguy and/or stonebender) for a few hours.

This week, I plan to sign up to compete. The special theme this week is going to be "Housing Matters", and I'm working on a piece I may try to slam for that. Otherwise, I'll probably do something a little older; either way, it should be fun, especially if I take a nap first -- this past Wednesday, it didn't end until around midnight. :-)

And if you're thinking it must be weird and hard being at a poetry slam without cute-poet-chick, you're right.

I admire your courage in embracing this thing you want in the face of its also being weird and hard.

Is it okay if I go off on a weird tangent and just swoon because you got the pronoun/gerund thing right? ;-)

*kisses*

*huge smile* Only if it's okay that I swoon because you're someone who swoons over such things.

Next time there's something weekendy or something, maybe I'll see you. Hope you're having a better week. *hugs*

Don't worry about the filter, how else are the rest of us to become suitably jealous about your city? (:

Only a little jealous myself, though, cause I really love Portland.
