Three friends reading…with a twist

There's a organization in Portland called Show and Tell Gallery that hosts a weekly hour-long show on Monday evenings at the Three Friends Cafe. They call it Three Friends Mondays: Caffeinated Art Series.

The premise is that three friends have an hour to use the coffee shop stage for a show. Audio of the show is recorded and uploaded to the Show and Tell Gallery website. Many people read. Some play music. It's a popular event (we're #136 in the series!) and on Monday, December 5, my friends Sarah Holloway and Robin Catesby are headlining…but we're doing things a bit different: we're reading each other's stuff.

Robin is reading a chapter I wrote from the first draft of The Miracle in July.

Sarah is reading a short story that Robin wrote that features a webbed protagonist.

And I'm reading a couple of poems and a very personal section of Sarah's dissertation on the effects of war.

My friends and I plan to have fun, and we'd like to see you there, so please join us at 7pm for an evening cup of java.
