Weekend of Readings

I don't know what the schedule is for the Apostrophe series, but I know it happens regularly at Gallery 1412 (1412 18th Ave., Seattle, WA 98122) in good ol' Capital Hill.

Goodbye Poetry Bus

The first reading was shorter and featured the much appreciated open bar, the second reading was longer and featured the much despised cash bar. Read more [...]
