On Tuesday night as always I went to host my Orgasmic Alphabet Orgy writers open stage in the Art Bar of the Gladstone Hotel. But besides my co-host Raven, nobody showed up. Raven and I spent some time in the empty room trying to figure out a solution to this problem. I finally decided and she agreed that we would start having featured performers because then they would invite their friends to come to see them read and we would have an audience that would potentially come back. But when choosing features I didn’t want to be elitist like the other reading series and bring in renowned authors. I wanted to keep it within the family and so we established the rule that to be invited to be a featured poet one must have performed at the Orgasmic Alphabet Orgy at least twice before.
