When I last checked there was a 70% chance of rain on Saturday evening. Except for the lightning that usually comes with rain we could have kept the pond party. But, not wanting to lose anyone, and still wanting to have a party for my birthday, we planned an alternative. And it’s good:-)
Have you ever wanted to be a pretentious art house cat? Now is your chance. In place of the pond party we are having a Beat Poet Party. Put on your outrageous artsy clothes, a hat, and bring your poetry. What? Don’t have any poetry. No problem. Once you hear my poetry, you will know the bar is not very high! You can even write some at the party.
Even if you shamelessly swipe a poem from a book(plenty to choose from in our library), everyone will be extremely appreciative of each reading, in a cool hipster sort of way. And they will discuss the deep esoteric meaning behind each work, and extol the wisdom of the sage among them, with all the snooty pretension they can muster. Let your inner beatnik flourish. Or at least wear the clothes, stick you chin up, and come hang out.
There will be uber sophisticated chill out music like Massive Attack and Kings of Convenience along with food, and sipping beverages (such as lemonade)
Cool music, cool clothes, cool people, and err, cool poetry: hope you can come:-)
Sameday: Saturday, May 26
Same time: 5:30pm
Same place: Anderwood farm
Any Questions?: 563 260 5556
By the way, check back here after the party to see if you are in any of the photos
