The Auld Shebeen
Just a social night this month: no speaker, no pressure. Bring whatever you’re working on for boasting/comparison purposes! $25 at the door gets you dinner and a drink and the best literary cadre of companions in all of Vangroover! That’s the price for our special menu, or this once you can order off the regular menu and “pay as you go.”
Next month we’ll be back to our usual meet&greet/presentation/arguing and drinking schedule.
UPDATE: It’s apparently World Poetry Day on Monday.
Monday is World Poetry Day and, coincidentally, the anniversary of the first twitter tweet. Celebrate with a “twaiku” by Elizabeth Alexander:
Teeny tiny poem

The Shebeen Club 
Booked for tonight but sure to make the next one.
Great, I’m thinking of moving it to Tuesday now that we’re not at the Shebeen anymore. Could get some of the regulars to come back!
