See you 6:30 this coming Friday, Oct. 11.  Woolson House on the campus of lovely Rollins College.  Where else??

No First Friday Tonight (Oct. 4)

With regrets, especially for cancelling so very late, I have to announce no First Friday this evening, Oct. 4.  I will set it up for next Friday, the second Friday of October.  Again apologies for the late notice.  Spread the word.  Philip

First Friday is a go for Sept. 6

Greetings all.

Please plan to join us First Friday on the first Friday of September.  6:30, same bat cave. See you then.  I keep meaning to tell you all how much I appreciate you.  You keep writing in your life.  You read smartly.  You've been attending this group, many of you, for a decade or more.  The work being shared at First Friday has never been better than it is now.  Okay, we miss Calypso but she'll come back some day, I'm sure of it. We're sorry Mark got hurt in a bike wreck.  He'll be back full speed very soon, we're sure.  Tom's gonna join us with new work.  A big toast your way, FF.  I look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening.

First Friday, Same Time, Same Place, Aug. 9 ---- Yes!

Greetings all, and please spread the word.  We will meet for First Friday tomorrow, August 9, in Woolson House at 6:30 rain or shine.  You have the choice, if you want to share you work, to bring copies for about 15, or fewer and we can share, or if you don't have copies, we'll just listen and comment.  Remember however that your allotted block of time under normal circumstances (if there are more than 15 or so in the room)  is ten minutes, and if you read ten minutes, there won't be time to discuss the work in the group.  Sometimes that's okay -- you may not want discussion, may just want to hear your piece read aloud so you can get some perspective.  Sometimes we go beyond ten minutes (when attendance is down and we have the luxury of time per person).  First Friday is getting very good now -- you might have noticed, and so we will have to have a discussion one of these nights about publication, about self-publication, and about marketing the work which you'll have to do in either case.  It's always good to think about it from the other end, too.  If you want peeps to buy your book, you should be buy the books of others, too.  Every book by a friend we read improves our own writing.  See you tomorrow night.  -- Phil

No First Friday on July 5

There will be no First Friday on July 5.  Sorry to advise you late.  I did tell the group this last meeting.  We are headed to Ireland.  We may meet the Second Friday of August, but certainly not the first Friday of August, for those who are planning ahead.
