This month's Slog Happy is next Wednesday, that's in one week! It's at the Theater Off Jackson, it starts at 6 pm, and it is (as always) free.

In case you missed yesterday's post about it, here are the details again:

This month's Slog Happy is going to be the Slog Happy of Shame, inspired by (but not officially affiliated with) the local Salon of Shame* readings where people bravely get on stage and read the terrible poetry/stories/letters from their awkward adolescent years.

So what we need right now are courageous people who are willing to read excerpts from their old diaries/journals/poetry collections. E-mail me at megan@thestranger.com if you're interested--you must sign up with me in advance in order to read that night! And in an effort to fit in as many readers as possible, each person will get about 2 minutes MAX to share their fantastically awful teenage angst, so you only need to prepare to share a small sample.

Right now, a few gems are already on deck including two shorts: one titled "Viking Beefaroni," the other called "Straight Sex Doesn't Make You Not Gay."

This is going to be good.

^{*This event is produced by Theater Off Jackson and The Stranger. While we have the Salon of Shame's blessing, they are not officially affiliated with the event. Their next reading is December 2nd, visit their website for more info.}
