WordXWord is coming!
Aug. 15th, 2014 10:20 pmAs most of you know, every August, Pittsfield hosts the weeklong WordxWord Festival -- a celebration of the spoken word, from slam poetry to storytelling to Chicago's famed "Encyclopedia Show". This year is no exception; they've got some incredible poets coming in, and if you don't want to take my word for it, watch some ( samples. )
Anyway, I'm honored to be involved with this festival again, and will be competing in both the story slam semifinals (OMG Sunday is just two days away!) and poetry slam semifinals, and also performing in some other ensemble events like the Poetry Scrawl and (most excitingly) Encyclopedia Show.
The whole week of performances is FREE, so if you have a free evening between Aug.17-23, I encourage you to check the schedule and come out for a night (or two, or a whole week) of spoken word. Pretty much everything is around central Pittsfield, although some afternoon workshops are scheduled everywhere from Lenox to Mt. Greylock.
Completely unrelatedly, here is a column about Bacon.
