QUEER OPEN MIC Featuring Frances Varian

FRIDAY JULY 28

8:00pm

THREE DOLLAR BILL CAFÉ (1800 Market Street)

 

The Queer Open Mic at the Three Dollar Bill Café is getting hot this summer with our second super sexy July feature: Frances Varian (aka goodbadgirl).

Fran Varian was a member of Seattle's national Poetry
Slam Team in 2000. She is featured on the Seattle
Poetry Slam! CD, the Word of Mouth Reading Series CD
and an upcoming untitled DVD release from Chowderhead
Productions.

Performing extensively throughout the Pacific
Northwest and Canada since the late 90s, she both
featured and served as a panelist at the Seattle
Poetry Festival from 2000-2002.  In September 2004 she
debuted a choreographed poem paying tribute to the
women murdered by the Green River Killer for the
Bumbershoot Arts Festival.

Fran's first chapbook "tsunami" was the featured
chapbook at Arundel Books in Seattle (also in
September 2004.)  Her poetry has appeared in Lodestar
Quarterly and Vox Populi.  She is also published in
the anthology "Without A Net: The Female Experience of
Growing Up Working Class," edited by Michelle Tea.
Her work will next appear in "Women:Images & Realities
A Multicultural Anthology, 4th Ed." to be published by
McGraw-Hill in November 2006.  She is currently
working on a new poetry manuscript titled "Radioactive
Sugar."

She has hosted numerous open mics as well as Seattle's
Poetry Slam and has been honored to serve as a
visiting poet to Seattle's public schools on behalf of
Eleventh Hour Productions.

Having recently relocated to the Bay Area this year
she could not be more charmed or delighted with her
new home and its inhabitants.

 

Queer Open Mic is co-hosted by Cindy Emch and Sherilyn Connelly. All allies are welcome and all donations benefit the featured performer and Bitch Magazine. Open mic readers should arrive at 7:30 to sign up, and plan on performing one piece that is five minutes or less.

You scored as Male. Being mostly male, within your structures of thinking simply means that your reasoning powers are the way they are perceived in Western Culture higher than the one of the opposite sex. Psychoanalsis claims this to come at the price of creative expression - a rational thinker can not think out of the box it is claimed. Yet, many creative Minds were men.
