Content! Update!
Fans of small spaces, poetry, coziness, and towns: do not worry. Plots and plans are stewing for the next spate of small-space readings. If Graham ever charges his camera battery, there could easily be pics posted soon as well. Be encouraged and keep watching this space.

Oh, it does nothing for the rain.

If you’re into it, you can see some still pictures from Monday’s night at Bean City at Greg Bem’s blog. He and Jeremy took some sweet videos, all quite watchable below.

great night, good people, excellent venue. Likely as not we’ll be back there sooner rather than later.

Scanned!

this is what I was working on during yesterday's blog post.

it’s kinda blurry, but that’s probably because it isn’t even noon and you’re already drunk.

Listing, blogging

At The Station on Beacon Hill, working on a bit of a poster — a bit late I’ll admit — for Monday’s reading at Bean City. They don’t know it (yet) but The Station is on The List.

There is a List. And it deserves capitalizing.

While you’re hanging out on the internet, how about some reading up on poetry, the state of, the city we’re in and all that? Thanks to Paul Nelson for the shoutout in his article on Seattle’s poetry scene. It should be noted that the piece is a well-observed challenge to Seattle’s poet-town frolics, but some of the conclusions I (Graham is writing this one) draw probably differ. Opinions contained are not necessarily those of cozytown, etc, etc, etc. Either way, well worth the sort of passive aggressive dialogue for which this town is universally embraced.

Stay warm. Again soon.

Up next:

The next Claustrophobia will be at Bean City Coffee in Lake City, November 21st, 7:30 PM.

Featuring:

• Jeremy Springsteed
• Laura Wachs
• and Greg Bem & Jarret Middleton performing in tandem.

12547 Lake City Way
Seattle, WA 98125

RSVP.

We’re pretty stoked to be bringing the reading to Bean City Coffee in the oft-underrated north end of town. After the reading, perhaps we’ll all head over to Claire’s Pantry for pie and/or booze. These things are not mutually exclusive.

I am the wind.

Claustrophobia #1 was a smashing, squishing success. Thanks to all who came out. Plans for the next one are near-solidified; watch for an update on that soon.

In the meantime, constant chronicler (and future Claustrophobia reader) Greg Bem recorded video of much of Saturday’s reading proceedings. Enjoy, and head over to his blog (linked in the “friends” category) for more recordings of lit-stuff around Seattle and occasionally beyond.
