Grex Writing Item 65: ANNOUNCEMENT OF SORTS -- SOME CULTURE IN YPSI? YOU DECIDE.
Entered by kitchen on Sun Oct 10 19:48:01 UTC 1993:

Every second Sunday there's a poetry reading at 7:00P.M. near my locale
in Scenic Depot Town Ypsilanti at the Daily Grind Cafe.  There's usually
a featured poet.  This evening, and anyone reading this will probably miss
it since I announced so late, a guy named Foley Schuler, from Detroit.
I read sometimes (usually) some of my stuff at the open mike gig.  There are
usually (sometimes) a variety of other interesting open mike readers.

Make sure whenever you say Depot Town, you say "Scenic Depot Town" so that
eventually everybody will say it and it will be a running joke like the
Toledo Scenic Circle Tour through the drek of Toledo.  Anybody from Toledo
with mindless pride?  Your problem, get a life.  When you do, tell me where
you got it.  If the price is right, I might be interested.  Even something
used would be nice.  Low milage, highway miles, not to many excesses.  Even
RENT-TO-OWN.  I can probably afford it -- at one of those guaranteed credit,
checks cashed here places.

I didn't make it this time but will try in the future.  It would be
reasonable to announce this event each month, a few days before it
happens, in this item and in the "announcements" item (#2 or #3, I
think) in the Agora conference.

Well, I attended this time and the stuff read was pretty decent. 
Some of it quite engaging, I thought.  I'll try and remember to
fire off an announcement next time.

        Second Sunday poetry reading at the Daily Grind are still happening.
Last month was quite good, with a featured reader from Chicago. I'm sure
this month will be good also.

Do you know who will be there this month?  And when is it exactly?  I'd
like to go.

        It's Sunday March 13th 7 pm. The featured reader is Marifrances Conrad.
She's a really good writer from Ann Arbor.
