Cafe in the Woods

Friday, 5:30pm: POC Dinner

It's our POC annual dinner! If you're a person of color and haven't gotten your ticket yet, sign up here. Even if you can't pay, please sign up for a ticket so we know how much food to order. I'm also coordinating volunteers for the dinner to help with setup or cleaning afterwards, so you want to help, let me know in the comment section of this post and I'll get in touch with you.

Saturday, 4:00pm: Steven Universe Sing-along
From "Giant Woman" to "It's Over, Isn't It," Steven Universe offers a variety of beautiful songs in different genres that we can all sing our hearts out to. Hopefully we'll be able to sing up to the latest song "A Distant Shore" and WE WON'T LIKE BE TALKING ABOUT THE NEXT EPISODE AFTER THAT BUT DANG THAT PUTS SOME OF THE SONGS IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT LIGHT NOW DON'T IT. 

Anyway, I will be there.

Sunday, 1:00pm: Reading @ Michaelangelo's -- Smash the Patriarchy
Join me along with fellow readers Monica Valentinelli, David Levine and Naomi Kritzer as we read stories that will unsettle you, make you uncomfortable, force you to think and feel. Come for the stories. Leave with possibilities. I'll be reading my latest short story, "One for Sorrow, Two for Joy", that was published in Fireside Magazine last month.

Sunday, 2:30p: It Is Our Time: A People's Celebration, Exploration & Analysis Of Black Panther
In which I geek out with a bunch of other people about Black Panther.

Monday, 11:30am: Sign-Out
This year, I got a whole bunch of stationary I want to use up. So if you visit me at the Sign-Out, I will write out a quick flash story on whatever subject you like. It will only be at the most a paragraph, at the most, 100 words, but hey, free story from me !

Of course I'll also be around just to chat, so if you see me, feel free to say hi! 

(Unless I'm peopled out...or working on the novel...in which case, a wave would do....)
