tales and thank-yous from the dark side....
Just a quick shout-out to say that Friday's Poetry Kapow was a handsomely-dressed bunch of poetry fun. Thanks to our open-mic poets, featured artists, contributors of STUFF, light and sound and bar-folk, documentors, fortune-teller (!), and other willing punters and participants. Video and audio recording will be available soon. Thanks to photographer Anna Berry for her stunning gallery of the evening:

Also special thanks to: Donna, Bard of Northampton, for joining us (she was voted best performer of the evening, don't you know!); Borders for their very generous gifts of vouchers for prizes; Shona for taking the money at the door; Richard Frost for being the visionary and artist as always, and for being the Sound Guy; Martyn our new favourite interviewer (you made us feel special!); Guitar-weilding Phil, the Awesome; the in-bloomin'-credible Antipoet for being our headliner; and Fay Roberts (you may know her as Faith Hope), for being a great poet, super-organiser, historical artefact provider, and an awesome friend (and for being all this whilst not even living in MK anymore!).
Those who missed Poetry Kapow really missed out, but our small crowd really got involved and we filled the evening just fine thank you, even without holding the Slam (we stand by the decision to give people the choice whether or not to compete!)
Anyone interested in poetry, art, creative happenings, or how to create a local event (not just for local people!) with a lot of love and a whole heap of fun, check out the photos.
@ Fay: Crikey girl, ... I think we done it again!
