Short Shorts and Gin & Tonics--prepare your presentation now!
Yep, gang, it's that season again--time to think about what you'd like to present to the assembled masses (typically 40-50) in a few minutes (3-4 minutes max) for this year's Short Shorts and Gin and Tonics. I'll provide the latter, and YOU provide the former. I'm shooting for about 10-12 short presentations of spoken word, songs, true stories, outright fabrications, readings, wildlife vocalizations, poetry, etc. (primarily human voice, but non-amplified instruments are fine also).
The SSGT will be held in the HomeSweetDome at 5:05pm on Wednesday August 29. I'd appreciate your letting me know ahead of time what you'd like to do so I can organize a bit (plumlightnin@sonic.net). So put on your thinking caps, and come up with something you'd love to share with an appreciative crowd of wonderful Hushvillains. I can't wait to hear from you!
Yours in Dust, Plum Lightnin'
Hei-hei Hushvillians, I've still got slots available for the ShortShorts presentations on Wednesday afternoon. Maybe there's a great paragraph of verbiage you just read in a fantastic book, or you're an expert in throat singing, or you can bless us with a song or poem, or you're finally ready to tell that harrowing/ridiculous/funny/revelatory/touching tale from your personal life. Whatever it is, if you can voice it (unamplified of course) in a 1 to 3 minute presentation, we'd love to hear it!
Let me know off-list what you'd like to do and we'll make it all happen!
Your peripatetic host,
p.s. I could also use the assistance of one or two people for setup and serving the gin and tonics--and everyone remember to bring their cup (and a chair wouldn't hurt either).
I'm in for a song or poem. Probably a song, maybe with a sing-along chorus.
Super!
Kiitos!
Plum
Hey there,
Just emailed you but forgot to introduce myself. I'm Marie and have camped with Hushville a couple times but haven't had the pleasure of the Short Shorts and Gin & Tonics evening. Looking forward to it. 🙂
