Now more about the workshop from Ken ...
"Come prepared to write. There will be some sort of prompt to start
you up--I'm still sorting through the possibilities. If we have two
hours, about an hour will be spent getting acclimated, then writing.
The last hour will be discussing what you did. It doesn't have to be
great, it doesn't even have to be good, it just needs to happen. The
idea is to think without using your brains--our brains get us into
trouble every time. Mine is my mortal enemy during the first writing
phase. Save your brains for revisions after you leave."

5. SpiralBridge hosts open mic. poetry readings on a monthly basis,
usually on the last Sunday of the month. As part of a continuing
program to promote community and the arts, we include music in our
monthly program.
We are currently seeking submissions from anyone interested in being
booked to perform. Solo singer/songwriters or a duo that may include
<light> hand percussion, as our event space is absolutely awesome
for this type of performance but not sonically suited to bands.
We have a great space to play (readings are held in an art gallery).
There is a built-in audience (if you can draw, great!... but there
is absolutely no pressure to do so.) It's a wonderful opportunity to
build your mailing list with a listening crowd.
Please email with any questions and for mailing address for press
kits.
Inquiries welcomed.
Packets should include CD, bio, and contact information. CD should
reflect your solo or duo sound, not full band. Think MTV:Unplugged.
Sincerely,
Lynn Rosenthal
