TWUC Cabaret

This is me thanking Betsy Warland and crew who organized the TWUC conference and agm in Vancouver. For the Spoken Word Cabaret in particular. I can't believe it hadn't happened sooner. But cut the bios, which are available elsewhere, and stick to 10 minutes x 6--be strict about time, I mean--and most of all, open the bar before the show, and turn down the house lights. A correction: most of all, keep the life and variety of voices (at 10 minutes).
The six "voices":
- melange of hiphop spoken word lyric confessional
- critique of Colonialism, not freshly rendered
-the ten-minute Peeping Tom opera performed  by operatic soprano mezzo tenor bass
- the sound poet with the loop machine
- the stand-up monologue sketch comic
- the performance poet delivering stock tips from his iphone

(all lables approximate)

That sounds like a lot of fun! Too bad it's on at the same time as the CVAF, though.
