Upper West Side READ OUT! ----- Event
We are seeking male and female creative writers to read
their own work at our READ OUT on the Upper West Side ,
something like a figure skating performance for each presenter -- but this will
be a Figure Reading. We do not want to mirror the form of poetry slams that
have been around since MTV popularized poetry performances. We want to create a
stimulating presentation going back before MTV made readings what they are
today, and start all over again.
Bryan Adrian and James Dell'Orco
are putting together a poetry-short story passage -- play-scene
reading/audition, on the Upper West Side at
DORIANS. We are seeking poets and short story writers and playwrights [a page
or nearly two] of your story, or three or four minutes from a One Act Play in
progress, writers who have good enough writing for the text to stand by itself
alone, but a bit of performance ability would also be appreciated.
We are not seeking grandstanding egos nor hobby writers who have a sizzling poetry slam style down
pat, either. [Nobody to read over five minutes is our goal]. Public radio's
Karen Pelland will be the MC of this event.
Most importantly, send us your efforts right
this minute in the TEXT of an EMAIL to Bryan
An interview on the Upper West Side or Times Square will follow, if deemed applicable, or
describe yourself to us in your first email so we can just dispense with an
interview. The deadline is getting close!

[writings and dossier on one of the two
organizers of this event]
We have rented the 2nd [rarely used] spacious
floor of a large bar/restaurant [DORIANS] and plan on breaking up the monotony
of too many poets/writers reading consequetively with
a stand-up comic poetess and a few acoustic guitar players and a few actresses
reading compelling theatre-play dialogue for a few minutes.
Buy your own drinks and bask in the applause.
The date of the event will be Feb. 13th, Valentine's Day Eve, and the time, 9PM
or so.
BRING ALL YOUR FRIENDS!

VAGUENESS by SOSO QIPSHIDZE
This is not blank verse nor a short story....I'm not Bob Marley and I'm not a provincialist rapper....I ain't no gangster and I'm not a
tight lipped punk....I'm not drunk but I'm not awake....I don't like it when I
sleep but I like it when I want to sleep....I'm not kind but I'm not wicked....I
don't like you and I don't love you too....I don't always want to live but I
don't wanna die....People don't love me....they don't hate me neither.....I'm
somewhere in the middle and I'll be there all my life....Here, where I'm at is
a huge and beautiful color wheel....I'm sinking in vagueness. Here there are
huge spaces and beautiful colors.
