Change of Plan for Friday 11/12/10 -- Kerouac House!! 8 PM !! See below for Details

Friends, I can't resist doing this. I'm pasting the announcement for the event Friday night at the Kerouac House. We will not meet at Woolson House at 6:30, but instead will join the celebration at the Kerouac House after the successful residency of the New York writer Mona Washington, who will do a final event.

I know it is listed as a fundraiser, and that they ask you to bring something. If you can, it's good, but don't let that stuff chase you off. First Friday and the Kerouac Project are very close in spirit with many of the same members. If you haven't been there, come on over at 8 Friday night.

Sorry for the late notice.

See below for details on the Kerouac House event.

Kerouac Friends and Faithful-

Please join us for this special Kerouac House Event.

Current Resident, Mona R. Washington bids farewell with an "Orlando premier" of a scene from her original play, "Woolite". The dramatic reading will be directed by John DiDonna featuring actors Dennis Neal and Val Gamble.

Synopsis: What happens when a wife's biggest fear (about her husband's fidelity) doesn't even come close to the reality?

Program Starts at 8:30 PM

Q&A and Reception Follows

For a fundraiser this evening, we will have a selection of handcrafted bracelets by Ilyse Kusnetz available for a donation of $20. These make lovely gifts and all donations directly support the Kerouac Project programs. Thanks Ilyse!

We hope to see you Friday.

Please park on Shady Lane. Bring a snack to share!

First Friday this month will be on Nov. 12 (second Friday)

First Friday this month will be not on the First Friday but on the second Friday of November. Spread the word, and see you then.

Yes, First Friday on Oct. 1 -- At last!!!!!

We will have First Friday this coming Friday. We usually have no more that 20 at the meetings, often more like 15. If you're bringing poems, try to bring copies for us. If you're bringing prose and it's more than a couple of pages, don't bother to make copies, just come and read to us. Remember that, prose or poetry, we try to hold the time to 10 minutes per person, give or take -- mostly give, but prose writers sometimes have to choose between reading the whole thing and then getting no comments or reading for a few minutes so there's enough time in ten minutes to have the group give a good discussion and feedback.

The meeting starts at 6:30. If the group is fairly big, we're pretty strict on the time per person. If the group is little, we completely lose control of the time and the meeting usually goes just as long as if there was a big group. Because that's how we roll! See you soon.

yes, let's try to have FF tonight, same time, same place. sorry for the late notice. it's been a wild summer.
