Lost...? and Found.
Biggest night we've done yet! Diane Rebelle sent us off with se perdre... se trouver. Gieno had the packed room laughing with a poème by Paul Foct(?). Robert Teetsov sang his songs about love see http://www.myspace.com/bobteetsov Miranda told us a sinister and grimly real tale of being followed in the street late at night. Mary hit those piano keys and sang. Pol read C'était bien by Robert Nyel. C'était bien, vraiment. All the new French readers picked stuff that really worked even for struggling anglophones and reminded me how good French can be at rhythmic rhyming poetry. Thomas gave us his sonnet, Voice. Bex took us to the Cemetary. And Alexa dedicated kisses to Serge Gainsbourg, Kiss me again she intoned, while floating away on a raft. Grind me like coffee fine, Make me twitch! You sonnuvabitch! Jessie read The Wordsmith, Arlène read Studio/Grape juice about growing up and things lost and missed, like love and being young and first kisses. James gave us an intense and touching Hair of the Dog. Conor defined what it meant to be Lost. And there were so many more! Alixandra sang http://www.myspace.com/alixandratailorsea Ryley read... I've only mentioned about half the names!
Thanks to all for coming. If anyone has a blog or myspace or something they want linked to on the Community section of this blog, please let me know.
Next week... train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lost & Found: mercredi le 2 avril a 21h
Find yourselves o people of The Word, Find yourselves wherever you may be & Walk out of your Lostness through the fertile Void and into
The Ogre à Plumes (49 rue Jean Pierre Timbaud, Métro Parmentier)
where unto you the Truth shall be revealed. All that is lost shall be returned to you!(1) Let me ask you to pause and reflect here, brothers and sisters, as to what it is that you have lost & to what it is that you have found in this city of the end times. This is a night for the reintegration of the disintegrated soul. Mercy on your soul, and if we can't save the soul we can atleast save the body.(2)
Spoken Words in English or French welcome - your own or somebody else's.
Songs and music also welcome.
............
Footnotes:
(1) offer does not apply to a) pets b) your virginity c) that thing your grandmother gave you on her deathbed that you promised to be careful with and then took out one night drinking
(2) probably by pickling it in alcohol. But alternatively by just making you have a good time!
