Tha.Speakeasy's Blurbs |
About me:
Tha.Speakeasy is the fusion of the minds of Gretchen and Tamara, and a bunch of other friends. It was born in a night of drunken splendor and philosophizing of the broken sanctions at work in the art community. Initially, it was going to be an international magazine to take the world by storm. As people sobered up and moved on, Gretchen and Tamara would occassionally meet up for more drunkeness and talk about this idea. They sobered up enough to realize the international idea probably wasn't going to happen, and maybe a more local approach would work.
The two drunken layabouts realized that in a college town of the size of Morgantown, there had to be more artists, who want to share their work. They knew there were also people, who needed to have more of the arts in their life. Going on the field of dreams premis, they decided to build a format to bring together the reclusive, the outrageous and the pensive alike. Thus, Tha.Speakeasy was born.
*Editor Note* Gretchen is just in it for the cheese and crackers. But now she is not directly involved in Tha.Speakeasy, though she does send her love and appreciation for the whole shebang.
About the show: Tha.Speakeasy is a three-round poetry slam. (For a general overview about poetry slams- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slam_poetry)
Poets sign-up at the door. In-between rounds, people with the music and the instruments make with the sweet sounds. Any type will do. Qualifier for music-must be original. In fact, that is the qualifier for all of this. Also, artwork is displayed, not for immediate sale, but the interested patron can contact/speak to artists about buying. Some refreshments provided, which are always tastey-good. Judges are selected from the audience. However, judges can be swayed by the audience. So if you like it- scream for it. Let 'im know. It is held at 123 Pleasant St., which is 18 and over. And the ultimate winner receives gifts from local businesses. Folks who have donated so far: Hospice Thrift Shop, Pizza Hut, Black Bear, Barry's Office Supply, (more to be added).
Tha.Speakeasy is brought to you in part by the number 69, the letter R and the Morgantown Association of Poets...a one stop shop for folks who like the poetry and want to know where to get some. Here's the web site: http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/map/ . More will be added as time goes on.
