14th March 07 - DON’T EAT THE MICROPHONE at STAVKA

“(DON’T) EAT THE MIC (ROPHONE)”
at Stavka from toadinmud.co.uk

WORDY PERFORMANCES AND OPEN MIC (green pastures),
poetry, prose, drama, music etc…

As we have been going on about for the past few “Don’t Eat the Microphone”s at the Queen Margaret Union, we are becoming vaguely nomadic. Probably once a month we shall be moving to the fantastic “STAVKA” on Sauchiehall Street. Stavka was the centre of the Soviet Military Command, pravda.

This coming Wednesday sees the first of such events. The format of the night is the same as always, relaxed and comfortable, though we will be having guaranteed performances from the wonderful Liz Lochhead, the Indie/Pop/Electro musician H-Bomb (http://www.myspace.com/harrybomb) and drama from ‘Stag’ and ‘Other Playwrights’. Of course we want to pack as much in as possible, so if you wish to perform either drop me an email at toad@toadinmud.co.uk or come along on the night with something to perform. All styles/formats/sentiments are wanted and nothing is inappropriate (though wearing a freshly skinned brown bear may turn some heads). I will do my best to be a little less rude than I usually am. After this performance there will be no more “DONT EAT THE MIC” until April the 4th. This is because my girlfriend is threatening to rend me into glue if I don’t come visit her some time, and my family are almost ready to have me declared legally dead and spread the ashes of an effigy across the North Sea in my place. If a subsitute makes themselves known, I will pass along the information via secure channels.

I hope you can all make it on Wednesday, it will be a lovely night and a bit of a bash. I know there are lots of essays due around now (dont I know it), but the beer will be cheap and we will definitely commisar-ate your woes. As always, we aim for more of a sociable gathering than a intelligencia meeting (though I’m sure someone will try and claim that language is inherently meaningless or some such tosh at some point), so you might find your less literary friends enjoying themselves as well. Spread it about like MRSA.
