First Day of Summer...











That's more like it.
Not only did I have a very talented group of people participate last Wednesday - I had a turnout. A great turnout. And everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. We set up shop outside and took in some stories, songs and poems under the warm sun, cozy beside a crackling campfire. Jenner, Ben, Geordie, and Guyaume were the entertainers of the evening, and my sister Amanda shared a few poems written long ago that have never left her notebook. It's difficult to describe how nice it feels to attend one of these things but if you'd like an idea, listen to the podcast here:

Because this is an outdoor recording, there are a few added touches to each reading (such as ambulance sirens and barking dogs) but luckily these city sounds didn't seem to interrupt or distract anyone too much. The calm night went smoothly, and I am very proud of everyone.
Next month's date isn't confirmed yet but I already have a lot of great writers/performers who are interested. Can't wait!

Best Episode Ever!

Last month was probably the best collection of readings we've had so far. Each reader bounced off one another really well and the evening took on an accidental theme of Romance. You can listen to it here:

It will feature literary readings from:

Jenner-Brooke Berger
Geordie Miller
Ben Stephenson
...and also a musical performance from Guyaume Boulianne

Hope to see you there!
