April 29, 2002 7:30 p.m. $5 cover This Ain't the Rosedale Library 483 Church Street 416.929.9912 I stumbled over a nice little write-up on my talk about writing at Simon Fraser University in February. Thought some might be curious: www.maryhill.com [ April 26, 2002: Message edited by: writer ] Edited again so the subject line reflects more late-breaking reading action.

skdadl, according to a well placed source: quote: ... we will be having a 'special' performance by Prize Budget for Boys (Neil Hennessy, Jason LeHeup, and Ian Hooper). this performance USUALLY takes 2 sets of 15 minutes each, so what we've decided to do is divide th night's readings as such:steve mccaffery, PBfB, break, th lovely and talented miss judy, PBfB, break, and a very small open mic.
This is all I know. [ May 02, 2002: Message edited by: writer ]

Next Tuesday! Woo hoo! I'll be performing with musician / artist Pete Dako for my reading of "Cut the Cheese," and presenting excerpts from a found-opus-in-progress, "Dead Doctors Don't Lie." Fun, no? Here's the bumpf the shameless promoters have provided: LEXICONJURY VIII: The Magic Display Cafe Tuesday, May 21st, 8pm The Pilot Tavern, Upstairs 22 Cumberland Street Yorkville, Toronto featuring the remarkable talents of: judy macdonald. in its simplest form, judy macdonald consists of a single author trapped in a heart-shaped box. the box is sealed, such that she cannot be acoustically observed. at this point there are two authors. after a brief exploratory period the reading begins, and the universe splits into a pair of parallel universes, one where the audience hears author A, and the other where they hear author B. this is known as the many worlds interpretation. the many worlds interpretation was the basis for the popular 90s television show "Melrose Place". steve mccaffery. in its simplest form, steve mccaffery consists of a single author trapped in a glass box. the box is filled with water and has no visible means of escape. after a brief exploratory period the author is lowered into the box, at which point the reading begins. the box, when powered in this way and fitted with a proper antenna, can pick up CFTO, CITY-TV and the CBC. on clear days its reception has been known to stretch all the way to buffalo. prize budget for boys. in its simplest form, prize budget for boys consists of three authors trapped in a small metal box. the box is equipped with a lever that, when pressed, activates the release of a can of mountain dew. after a brief exploratory period, the authors will repeat the lever-pushing and ultimately make an association between the operant and audience reaction. at night they emit a soft glow, not unlike phosphor, or the end of a cigarette. an open mic will follow, with the usual lex regs: 1 poem + 1 cover. those without a cover, or who show no mercy to their audience, will be relegated to a digital subscriber channel well up in the 200s. a few additional lex notes: due to time contraints the open mic will have to be shortened to six readers, so get there early. get there early anyway... what's up with all this showing up at 9 stuff? trust us... you won't want to miss a thing. please note that this month's Word calendar lists us on the wrong date... come visit our website... http://www.alienated.net/lexiconjury thanks for making the shows cool... see you tuesday. ... Also, here's yet another review of Grey: http://www.danforthreview.com/reviews/fiction/judy_macdonald.htm
