Tao,
Are you being asked for scores of blurbs?
let me kill you. you will get famous.
it won't hurt
can't read it. the neon green on black gives me a headache. he should change his colors.
copy and paste it into microsoft word
jereme,
not many
That seemed a little juvenile. Or something. And maybe derivative of other-things-that-are-more-interesting-by-people-we-know-to-well, maybe. But not as good. No. Not as good. From my perspective. Which is the only one I can speak from. Since I am, effectively, the center of my universe. The axis, or, you know, whatever, zebra, banana.
too well. Oh sad.
thank you madison
No problem. You're in Seattle sweetheart?
i am in seattle, yes
im in belltown right now
Belltown? Schmancy. Where do you live? My family lives in Woodinville. I was just visiting the boyfriend's family in Greenwood. You been to the 826 there? Are you in to that shit? How 'bout going to bumbershoot: you going? I haven't been in almost ten years. Can you believe that? I'm old as shit.
Sorry that was a little harsh. I'm in a lousy mood. I'm off to my meeting. Then I'll go home and slap the kids around.
Ta.
Much love, actually,
Maddie
"into." Fuck. I'm so fucked.
madison
i live on the hill, i work in belltown
i dont know what the 826 is,
greenwood is alright, i used to live in northgate, which was gross
i wont go to bumbershoot, but maybe, because, there is some literary thing going on at some point, somewhere
do you know seattle publications i can submit to, i want to have readings
good luck at your meeting
ttfn
if there are any writers that know any seattle publications i can submit to and get readings, please tell me
thank you
thank you for the blurb tao.
alice blue review should do a reading series
i am actually returning to seattle soon. i can kill you then if you want. at a reading maybe. for alice blue. madison glass will help, no doubt.
You received two more comments on your post than I received on mine, Brandon. Therefore: you win.
I lose.
Seattle used to have a Monkeybicycle reading series, but then all the MB people moved to New York. And Providence.
I concur that Alice Blue should start a reading series. If Alice Blue folks think about doing this, I'd be happy to help out.
Cranky is a Seattle journal.
You could go to Ballard for this open mic. I think they have people reading things there.
dobbs
call me then, we can have a murderfest. thank you matthew for the email. i will check those things out.
ballard. ballard scares me.
you both defeated me, my ant post and other things only get less than 10 comments
The Hugo House is a good place to start, it's on capital hill, behind the reservoir. They have readings there.
Ravena Press is based out of Seattle (Snow Monkey, and some newer journal).
I'll keep thinking.
On the Alice Blue Reading series: Most of our writers come from East of the Mississippi. We don't have the kind of money to fly anyone out here. Or, for that matter, to fly out there. If someone wants to start one out there in our name maybe. I don't know. I'll think about it.
Sarah's already late with this issue. Lots of pressure.
Jack Straw is another Seattle writers thing you might look into.
