BROADSIDE, 2003
If you see just one live reading this year, possibly you have been mistaking “authors” for the recently classified “colossal squid”, which, while an entertaining notion, is quite inaccurate. None of this Very Special Event’s featured performers has a single tentacle, and only one has been seen attacking a sperm whale, and even that was just a metaphor for a lost childhood. Instead, they will read, to you, in a sad voice, stories concerned with emotional detachment, empty rooms, and nomadic lust. Laffs for all.
