    Genevieve's Interests
MusicAh the long list wherein I impress you with my impeccable music taste and deplorable spelling ability. Here we go...Flaming Lips, Bjork, Jerry Jeff Walker, Lucinda Williams, Franz Ferdinand, The Hives, Russian Sailor Songs, Mongolian Throat Singing, Jane Sibbery, Patty Griffin, Steave Earle, The Asylum Street Spankers, Queen, Coldplay (yes, I do and I don't give a shit), Fatgboy Slim, Drum & Bass, Joy Division, Marvin Gaye, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Aretha Franklin...you know I like to listen to music.
MoviesNew Faves: Harry Potter and the Boiling Pot of Teenage Angst & Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang
TelevisionChapelle Show, Muppet Show, Quincy, Magnum P.I., Designing Women, West Wing, Frontline, Mystery, The Cosby Show, The Daily Show, Mr. Show, Simpsons, Law & Order...all of them except the last one which totally sucked! RIP Jerry Orbach.
BooksI'm a big reader. Love to read. Name a book...I've probably read it. Except Don Delillo...I hate that guy's books. Oh and I've never finished anything by James Joyce. Nothing. I think Herman Melville and Theadore Dryser should be given to insomniacs instead of pills. Pills will kill you, these guys will simply bore you to a full and satisfying night's sleep. I like magazines too. Turkey and Turkey Huntin', Texas Huntin' and Fishin', Animal Wellness, National Geographic, The Texas Observer, Vanity Fair, and Tiger Beat...hello jailbait!
HeroesLiz Carpenter, Molly Ivins, Sarah Weddington, Jesus, and Bill Hicks

Austin Under-21 Poetry Slam Summer Showcase: A Time to Come Together in Support of Shannon Leigh
PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
***************************************************************************

AUSTIN UNDER-21 POETRY SLAM SUMMER SHOWCASE & FUNDRAISER
FEATURING 2008 AUSTIN UNDER-21 POETRY SLAM TEAM & OTHER FAN FAVORITES!

DATE & TIME: Friday, June 20th, 2008 @ 6:00 pm
ADMISSION: $10.00 cover, $5.00 students, free under 5 years old
PLACE: Ruta Maya World Headquarters,

Last Saturday, 20-year-old Shannon Leigh, founding youth of the Texas Youth Word Collective, two-time champion and three-time member of the Austin Under-21 Poetry Slam Team representing Austin at the Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam Festival, and daughter of Dr.
Sheila, was in a scuba diving accident in Florida, suffering severe oxygen deprivation. She is in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit at the University of Florida Shands Hospital in Gainsville. Shannon blazed the trail for youth poetry in Austin; not just as a place that has youth poetry, but a place where youth poetry excels. She put Austin on the map and the world on notice. As you might imagine, Dr. Sheila is devastated and terrified, but in full Mama Tiger mode nonetheless.

We planned to have the first showcase of the new 2008 Austin Under-21 Poetry Slam Team this Friday June 20, 2008 at Ruta May starting at 6:00 pm, AND WE WILL.

April is National Poetry Month. Of course, for the City Wide Under-21 Poetry Slam, every month is poetry month. For the third year in a row the Austin International Poetry Festival, well into its second decade, highlights youth poets through the City Wide Under-21 Poetry Slam Showcase. Having competed against each other all season, this year we are going to put the competition aside and allow the youth to demonstrate their creative abilities without the pressure of judges, rules, or scores. The youth will be free to try out new poems, group poems, and poems on which they might not take a chance in competition or to tune up for the City Wide Slam Off Finals in May.

Austin, we invite you to come see the following potential team members for the 2008 Austin Under-21 Poetry Slam Team strut their stuff:

Telvi Altamirano
Brent Caballero
Nicholas Cruz
Jacob Dickson
Haley Haradon
Shay Harris
Brandon Harrison
Cora Lee
Kara Miller
Margaret Olson
Jonathon Sterling
Sonja Washington
Ruby Willmann

Oh, we were all up in your Lady Business last night. Yes, we were.

Thanks so much to you and Susan for coming by! What a super time. Don't forget to tell us when you're in town again.

Must go. I'm wondering what to make for lunch and hoping your esteemed senator from Houston can help me out...
