The Half Past 40 Howling Drunk Poetry Bash
September 19, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
FreeMake no mistake. This is a birthday party, but this is not just any party….This is a birthday party for all the losers who were picked last, who never received an invitation, who was never asked out for the school dance. This is a party for us!
This is the party celebrating two thing I love most in this world, poetry and music. The evenings literary and musical entertainment will be provided by some of the people I respect and admire the most in the Portland area. The very fact these special people agreed to do this with me astounds me.
Remember, no gifts needed. Bring joy! Bring tears! But mostly just bring your own lovely selves!
The event starts at 6:30 P.M. and the readings will begin at 7.
The poets will be (in no particular order):
Josh Gaines!
Tommy Gaffney!
Morgan Paige!
Nathan Tompkins! (me!)
Music by the amazing wife duo Complimentary Colors!
