msfledermaus...with Ruby Slippers
and Sirreal13, even though we had to flee the *gulp* Spoken Word Night.
Yes, you heard me. The horror that is Spoken Word Night.
The poets. The people who try to steal your chairs when you get up for coffee.
The would-be friends who pout when you explain you're trying to save a chair for a friend you actually want to sit by. The off-key guitars. The extremely earnest singing. The extremely earnest bad poetry. No. Noooooo. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
At one point I was trying to commit seppuku with a bendy-straw.
Don't get me wrong, I have a great respect for people who can stand up in front of others and do their bit. I've even done it myself a time or two. I'm proud of people who bring something interesting and good to such a gathering...but let me be blunt. There's a lot of painful crap out there too. and when you are confronted with Spoken Word Night, you have to be polite often for all the wrong reasons. Or run...just run.....
We coped by hiding in a dark warm corner, passing around new Onions and old Twin Peaks Gazettes. Ohhhh, Agent Cooper....we still had a very good time together with our coffees and the occasional broken note splitting the air from the other room....
