The Night Before Robbie Burns Day
You don't have to be Scottish
Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 7:30pm
(after the BAG and ConneXion exhibition openings @ The Beaverbrook Art Gallery. 703 Queen St)
'Tis the night before Robbie Burns day and all through the world, denizens are partying, rollicking and . . . well, drinking Scotch, eating haggis, reading poetry, dropping down drunk and throwing up.
This is a BlackTop MotorCycle Gang reading raid open to the public. It will start at Biff's place (158 Brunswick Street, Apt 3-C . . . behind the big red brick house with the huge balcony and porch between Smythe and Northumderland . . . Biff's building is around back) with readings from Robbie (for those who want to read . . . find them here,http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=58856568901&h=AzHQG&u=oJuiM), and a good old Scottish chili and other snacks (bringing food is optional). Joe Blades will be bringing haggis (the most delicious haggis in the world and the only haggis I'll ever eat).
We'll meet at 7:30. After drinking (and you can bring whatever you want...for those of you with defective taste buds that won't accept Scotch) we'll head to the Robbie Burns statue on the Green (which is absent at the moment, but Broken Joe is bringing a bust) to read to his ghost.
And then, it's just pure party-your-ass-off.

Oh, shit!!!
Hey folks,
A few people have to get up early tomorrow ... so we're starting at
9:30. We'll still be reading for those who can't make till 10. It's in
the alley across from the Pita Pit on York Street. You may be able to
hear us ... or see the candle light. For those who can't make it ...
don't let God near your hamster.

btmg reading raids this week ...
it's gonna be a wild week for the btmg this week with 2 reading raids ... both at memorial hall on the unb campus ... this thursday at 7 and there'll be a poetry slam right after (this one is in conjunction with the artzone "you say potato" project) and one on saturday at 9 as the grand finale of the words of the people 12 hour read-a-thon ... and again, a poetry slam and induction of new members into the gang.
and totally irrelevantly, does anybody know where this door is? it would make a perfect spot for a future reading raid ...

of burns and merriment ... and much Scotch whiskey
It was a night of angels blushing in deep folding of Scotched embrace ... when Bobbie's words spilled drunkenly o'er the snowy statue's base ...
... reading to Chris as Burns ....
... Burns ... well ... sort of approves ...
... the haggis ... cooked by Broken Joe ... and delicious ...
... our newest member ... Heidi ....
... our official BTMG groupie ... Deanna ..
... and the gang is loose in the streets ... Scotch and all ...
... and n'er was Bobbie happier.
