    Red Velvet Armchair :: Penguin Plays Rough

    ...16.07.09

    The Sydney Writers Festival website says that Penguin Plays Rough has a red velvet armchair, and that has increased my willingness to go and read a story I wrote there by about 300%. Pip Smith, who runs the night, invited me to come and read and so I will get out of my red velvet dressing gown, ignore the fact that I may have swine flu and go and sniff my way through a story to a room full of people who happen to all enjoy a disparate set of interests including short fiction, drinking, Newtown and red velvet armchairs.

    So yes I will be going to Penguin Plays Rough on Monday but that’s not why I’m promoting it. My story is going to be far less impressive, entertaining or exciting as the armchair or the rest of the night,  which includes Nick Coyle and Josephine Rowe doing readings, plus there’s a bit where the audience can read stuff too. Do that, and it will be less humiliating for me.

    PPR is held at 1/475 King St (upstairs) at 8.00pm next Monday, the 20th of July. Bring a bottle of wine and your listening boots. Don’t pretend you don’t have any listening boots.

      An additional new write-up with strong points, I’ve been a lurker here for any brief time but hope to be significantly much more engaged within the future….
