We’d really like to know.  And we would really like you to tell us on our next Open Mic night, which we have CHANGED from the 20th of this month to Monday the 13th, at 6:30.  (The fact that we are offering wine at the reading seems to suggest that we mean 6:30 p.m., but you never know.)

So, with this line as your prompt ( Sir/Madame) “Who’s that stiff you’ve got in your trunk?” write some fresh material to read, unless of course you’ve already written something with the same prompt and care to dig it our of your archives.  The reading is at the clubhouse  of A Word with You Press at 802 South Tremont St. Oceanside, California.

Too far to drive?  Lear jet in the garage for repair?  TAKE ADVANTAGE of this wonderful age in which we live. Let us know if you would like to be skyped in to the reading.  We have already done this and it’s fun and adds a new dimension.  It’s just like being on Oprah but without the commercials.

Or why not schedule a reading of your own among friends, same topic, same night?  Might become a monthly habit.

Speaking of commercials (don’t touch that dial!) we are having our grand opening / housewarming for the digs that so many of you have helped renovate on the 18th of this month.  Concurrently, we will also have our first art exhibit, this one featuring the work of Ed Coonce.  Show and open house begin on Saturday at 11:00 and will run for a week, with a reception for the artist at 2:00 pm on Sunday, the 19th.

and “Let’s hear your trunk-ated fiction!” said Thorn, stiffly.

cheers!
