New Year, New Things, Plans, Etc:

Well, as far as I can tell everyone I know made it through the madness of X-mas and all the new year's eve parties and the ensuing hangovers if your body was such inclined. As usual we played it safe on New Year's and were home around ten, I always hang out at the house on the biggest drinking night of the year. You can still have a few beers and play a couple of games of "SORRY" and bring in 2009.
I was taking a little inventory of what was on the horizon for us in 2009 and it looks like a very busy one, that's good.
First up is an Aurore Press Event on January 24th. We are doing a
"Not So Fair and Balanced Farewell To BUSH"
This will be a spoken word / performance night to send off our worst of the worst president NOT ELECT George W. Bush Jr.
The show will feature :

Robert "Jughead" Sturdevant: author of "Pardon's Prism
Nathan Singer: author of "In The Light Of You" and 2 other novels
Justin Patrick Moore (pending):host of WAIF's "On the way to the peak of normal" and founder of Sothis Media.
MESSERLY AND EWING ARE NOW ON THE BILL>>>>>>>>>>>>
Plus I will be MCing the show and will have several pieces throughout the night and hopefully a few other folks before the night is over.
"Pardon's Prism will for sale that night for $5.00 and we'll have other Aurore Press Merchandise. We will be providing some wine and beer; All the info will be forth coming on our website:

Next up will be a spoken word /performance event sometime in the summer. tentatively called:
"Freethinkers": A Night Of Reason
This will be a showcase of mine and other friends outlook on religion. My friend Maryanne Cowgill and I were discussing our views on Religion and decided we needed a forum to let it rip.
We have a few other friends lined up for the night, so this may be a first for this sort of thing so stay tuned for a little mud slashing towards organized religion, I can't wait for this!!!

Next or around the same time will be our first venture in the world of CDs. We will be putting out a cd of the Jockey Club Reunion 08 show we put on in November 2008. We recorded it for history so we can pass it on to our kids and their kids.

Who knows what other projects lie ahead, sometimes we don't know until they are in our face and we just run with it. Again the website is: http://www.aurorepress.com/
