1. Hang out with the emcee, a delightful individual prone to verbal gaffes, furious blushing, and cosplay (most recently, a bumblebee).
2. Connect with other writers. We're not so odd once you get to know us - or maybe we are, but I think of it as part of our charm.
3. You don't have to read if you don't want to.
4. If you do want to read, it's a super-duper relaxed, super-duper supportive atmosphere.
5. Wednesdays are boring. Open Mic is fun.
6. Owl's are scary. Help me work through my (apparently ridiculous) phobia.
7. Regular reading is good for your writing.
8. We're open to all kinds of material. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, plays, songs, confessions, space operas, diary entries, noir, romance, satire, history, tentacles, paranoid cyberpunk etc. We'd love to hear it.
9. Owl's Nest is an outstanding bookstore that does a tremendous lot to support the writing community. They also have terrific people who can point you toward a great book.
10. GOODIES and WINE provided!
Everyone welcome! Hope to see you there!
When: Wednesday, January 30 @ 7pm
Where: Owl's Nest Books 815A - 49th Avenue SW, Calgary
Emcee: Sarah Johnson (that's me, the owl-fearing bumblebee)
You had me at wine!
ReplyDeleteThen perhaps we'll see you there. You can protect me from owls.
