ANOTHER POETRY-FILLED WEEKEND: THUR 7/28 - SUNDAY 7/31

Note: Please click on photos to enlarge

There' little doubt that at least one enchanting event has been left off this list, but that's operator limitation and ignorance. These are events and hosts I am familiar with and feel comfortable listing. 

Thursday, July 28, 2022

1. Phynne-Belle (AKA Tricia DeJesus-Gutierrez) brings us Phynnecabulary Presents Hits of the ‘80s at 
7pm PDT

My eye is usually caught by the different, the novel. My toes generally point toward unassaulted paths. Phynne-Belle is definitely different, sometimes naughtily novel and this program offers an opportunity to share poetry, music, and funny or interesting stories about the 80s! Is that common?

Register for the event on eventbrite

If the folks who said they were coming to read actually come to read, this will truly be an event you don’t want to miss! I would list the folks I’m excited to hear tomorrow but then all the folks who aren’t listed…well, you know. Paul and Lynn record the Friday Collapse, and this is one video I expect to save and treasure for some time to come.
