A Lovely Visitor’s Blog Post

24 Oct

Upon waking this morning (okay, afternoon – so I’m a night owl?  What’s it to you?), I checked my dashboard & saw a linkback that looked like it might not be one of the latest spam links, so I steeled myself for the possibility of playing right into their greasy little hands & clicked…

Lo & behold it was an SL blog whose author had happened upon The Perfect Taco while out adventuring & wrote a wonderful piece on our place.  Many thanks to Ceejay Writer for visiting & for her gracious post.

The week of Halloween, we’ll be  showing a different movie from the horror genre every night (well, at least through the week.  I’m still nailing down my Halloween plans & as much as I luv you guys I will not be passing up a night of drink & debauchery to watch YouTube in SL:~p).  If you’ve had the pleasure of seeing some of the movies I’ve shown so far, you know some of them will probably lean closer to being a comedy, or tragedy, than actual horror.  But as long as there’s at least a ghost or demon or axe murderer running lose, & somebody gets killed it counts.  I’m also working on a fun little trick or treat hunt around here.  But more info about all that next week:~)

See you there!

Every Tuesday we’ll be showing a selection of short videos, webisodes, animation, music videos, short films, random crap, whatever catches my eye & I can make play.

Getting started early this week with a special theme for the evening – contemporary poetry.

At 7PM, we’ll start the evening with a 2005 reading by then U.S. poet laureate, Ted Kooser.
“…a poet and essayist, a Presidential Professor of English at The University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He served as the U. S. Poet Laureate from 2004-2006, and his book Delights & Shadows won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for poetry. His writing is known for its clarity, precision and accessibility.”

Then at 8PM, we’ll shift to a mix of individual performances in a variety of styles & voices.  Opening the show will be a series of artists from the Def Poetry Jam series, young voices speaking to a number of topics we face today.  From there we will have some of our modern day classics such as Charles Bukowski & (my favorite) Nikki Giovanni.  A few videos from a personal friend, Lindsay Stone, who is a beautiful slam poet & transgender activist, will make their way in near the wrap up.

A writer & published poet myself, this is an evening which I look forward to sharing with you.  There is some amazing work being done in poetry today.
