What’s happenin’, Ladies and Gents? This Worcester Cowpoke has decided to get with the times and start a blog site for the reading he runs, namely The Little “a” Poetry Series – the Thursday night spot for spoken word enjoyment! But you know that already, don’t you? Of course you do! Cuz you’re reading my blog!
But then again, it’s not my blog; it’s ours! I’ve tried to approach the subject in a non-cornball way at many a Little “a”; that it’s not “my reading” or “my show” – it’s about a community in a relaxed environment, sharing with, learning from, enjoying the words of, and occasionally being offended by, others!
Honestly though, facebook is really annoying for me to use a good deal of the time. I tend to get flaky with it, and this blog may help me to centralize necessary data, info, events and such in one place and help me keep everyone else abreast of the scheduled events. Of course, it’s the Devil I don’t know, as opposed to the one that I do – so forgive my amateurish blogging until I get the hang of it. Please??? I try so damned hard!!!!
On that note, I aim to put a concerted effort into keeping this up-to-date. It’s been a long strange road this little reading has traveled; from it’s inception at The Q Cafe, where it won “Best Spoken Word Venue” in the Worcester Magazine Awards, to its stint at Dr. Gonzo’s All-Natural Mega-Spicy Comestible Emporium, through a hiatus on account’a me working nights, bringing us to the present at The Strange Attractor – a hodge podge community of arts and culture folk in an old industrial setting, home of TESLA, Ferromorphics Design, and the most comfortable space yet. That’d be 97D Webster St for those who don’t know… We’ve hosted a great array of fine voices, and have many more features planned for the future. Great memories, great stuff just around the corner…
Hope to see you soon! Peace out!
– The Cowboy
