back back back back

i go away for a few weeks and what does berlin do? she goes all golden and grinning in my absence. gooood work! i'm looking at the sun flirting through my window and keen to get outside. its a good week for all things arty and performance poetry oriented. first off you will the first i tell that the next call for submissions for cinema rivalry has been chosen. The event will happen at kreuzberg's one andonly ping pong bar in june, and this events theme is (drumrolll plllllease)

Trash vs. Style

so i'm on the look out for short films with slick aesthetics, or those who make trashiness an aesthetic, and when i say trashy, i don't mean bad, i mean trashy in the realm of messy intentional over-the top ness. maybe you're the next russ meyer? email me about it at paulavarjack (at) googlemail.com

but back to this week... kicking off with thursday, where i'll be doing a feature set at lady gaby's moving along with verses.


this is a kind of premiere of a new collective i'm a part of called:
skint but sexy. we being three berlin based performance poets and a musician from various parts of america and england. at the moment we're plotting our uk tour/takeover but more on that to come, for now we're just working out the finer details of our promotion (printed condoms? matchbooks? or maybe our own brand of ciggarettes?.. knowing the budget and tagline i'm thinking its gonna be matchbooks, but i'm hoping we can rock the condoms) annnnnnyways

friday i'm going to put my film-hat back on to document some performances i;m very much looking forward to. As beatstreet promises sets from that wonderful san franciscan ryan nash, and that scribe from the dirty fableland, Jonas Mccloud (aka Cloudfist Conceptz). But i can't have tooooo crazy a late night after the show because because because... on SATURDAY
an event i'm very much looking forward to

A tribute night to that diva of dynasty ALEXIS COLBY.




















i've got a vintage snake print jumpsuit i've been desperate for occasion to wear to, and the poem i've written for my performances is squarely in the sexual crush category. meanwhile I also love the poem Tom has written and i'm very curious to hear what Niti and Jonas McCLoud are stepping up with. But its not just about the poetry kids, there's gonna be dj sets and drag, and performance art from Lady Gaby and its all going down in that arty illegal bar wonderbar, with those dangerous orange cocktails Gaby makes. ...

i'll see you there
