NYC Dopers, join me for Nuclear Poetry on Oct 28, 8:30 pm

[Mississippienne]

As I’ve got the day off on Wednesday, I’ve decided to attend Nuclear Poetry: Halloween Edition, a FREE poetry reading/performance art event held at 156 7th Avenue, NYC, NY. It’s open mic and no cover, so bring yourself and maybe your original poetry.

Yes, that’s right. DopePoetryNYFest. You know you wanna come, plague rats.

Here’s a blurb about it:

Candles will be lit. Pages will glow. Drinks will be served. Peanut butter cups will be devoured and pumpkins will be in attendance. Dress in Halloween garb if you’d like, or come as you are to take in the witchy words and eerie surroundings of our ultraviolet haunt.

Doors at 8pm. Show starts at 8:30. No cover.

The night will be recorded in its entirety for podcast on iTunes and http://www.nuclearpoetry.com (8 recordings are now live) so if you’d like to cook up something batty for the open mic and read/be recorded in the second half of the show, the theme is “I have come to _________ my Darkness.” Read on or off theme. Sign-up is at 8:00pm.

Two very talented visual artists from San Francisco will provide some enchanting sights for the night. Jasamyn Wimmer’s intense, gothic figures of anatomy will be strung around the room and Robert Hammond’s beautifully bizarre paintings will be part our first-ever digital exhibition: his work will be sent over cyberspace and projected on the walls as the show begins.

If you’re interested in attending with me, respond here and we’ll PM instructions on where to meet. Hope to see y’all there!
