Well I guess this is our fifteen minutes of fame. It's official now. The Floyd Writers Circle has been asked to participate in the Third Annual FloydFest with readings and workshops. This literary event will take place, in shortish time slots dispersed over the three days, at a site called (ahem...) the PoeTree.
The readings will be timed to fill the spaces between Main stage events--roughly fifteen minutes per speaking "performer". I remain a bit sceptical re the acoustics, attendance for this activity, and such. But it's a first-time attempt to bring the "spoken word" to the stage at this large and growing gathering. My timeslot is 11:15 to 11:30 on Saturday, August 14. Come by. Please check your over-ripe fruits and vegetables at the door.

If what starts with skepticism ends in wonder, you will indeed be blessed. It all starts with a 15 min. time slot here and there. Give 'em your good stuff, Fred, and challenge them to keep up. And remember, it's a show, so don't be shy....

Oh, yeah, as if being shy would be an issue for you.... :)
