If You're Bored and in Mpls/St. Paul...

Tomorrow night I'm going to be reading at Nina's Coffee Cafe.  My friend Sean M. Murphy tells me that Nina's is the place for those snooty, intellectual writers I usually can't stand.  If you want to support my kind of crass, commerical writing and enjoy some really joltingly good coffee (I still fantasize about the "Velvet Hammer" I had there once), come see me:

Here are the details:

On Thursday, August 16, 2007 starting at 7:20 pm, I will be reading from my work-in-progress "The Second Coming of Emily" at Nina's Coffee Cafe with Lucie B. Amundsen, who will read from three humor essays culled from the everyday drama of family life; Sharon Chmielarz, who will read poems from her latest two books, The Rhubarb King and The Other Mozart and possibly some newer poems; and Sherry Roberts, who will read from a work in progress about a dyslexic woman who fights a small town in North Carolina that is trying to ban books. Nina's Coffee Cafe is located at 165 Western Avenue North, Saint Paul, MN 55102. For more information or directions call: (651) 292-9816

The event is sponsored by the National Writers' Union of which I'm now a re-upped member.

Huh. Our favorite brew pub puts out a winter brew called "Velvet Hammer" which is so strong they serve it in a wine glass instead of a pint. It's dark red, warm, smooth and delicious, and decidedly dangerous. Also, the server checks you really hard before agreeing to bring a second helping. hee.

You always have these readings when I have night meetings.

Well, at least I can avoid "being seen" at Nina's.

Though I hear the coffee is fantastic. Have one for me, and have a great reading!
