So last night was, as expected, fucking awesome. :-D
Everyone was cool, all the performers were rawking, and there was a lot of powerful poetry filling up the space last night. I'm practically high (and most likely would be floating a lot higher if I'd gotten much in the way of sleep last night).
I finally met the divinely talented, and more than slightly erotic, Tithenai (editor of Goblin Fruit and winning of the 2009 Rhysling Award for speculative poetry -- Why, yes, I AM a fan-girl. Did I mention she's agreed to Feature for us in May? :-D)
Her review of the evening is here and she actually mentions the Palimpsest Photo that Idioglossia took (see icon) in a way that makes me feel more than slightly... famous. ;-) <*is flattered all to hell*>
(For Spec. Poetry fans: The brilliant Caitlyn Paxson was there, too, to add a touch of steam punk and elder gods to the evening).
We had a number of New Performers (or at least new-to-poetry performers) up on the stage, which is always wonderful, as well as a few veterans (me, Hex...) and a Story Teller (Ruthanne Edward) who is going to be our Feature for March -- AKA: Women's History Month.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Shannon Beahen, our Feature Performer, drugged herself up on dayquill in order to be able to perform despite three days of awful flu symptoms clogging her system. Poetry about communication, geek love, and (of course) Crazy Cat Ladies, went over like a fireworks display (as if she thought she wouldn't be bringing the energy last night).
The Adorkable Thespian, herself, has written up a wee review of the evening which makes me very happy.
ANYWAY. Long story short: The evening was a blast, I loved it and had a grand time hanging out with people after the show. This is still my favourite thing to do. :-D
For those who want to know: Next month's show is October 13th, and next months Feature Performer is Hodan Ibrahim (who does gorgeous, spiritual spoken word that will blow your little minds). :-D
