"Cupidity" poetry performance - Feb 25th, 2006

Post by Doreen Peri » February 26th, 2006, 4:33 pm

We had standing room only at the poetry reading for the "Cupidity" show last night at Gallery Neptune in Bethesda, Maryland.

Here's a link to my initial announcement about the show.

As promised, here are some photos and some info about those who performed.

Wish you could have been there! It was great fun, even though I announced the poets out of order, read the intros like a robot & tripped over a few feet and wires. ;)

Thank you to Elyse Harrison, owner of Gallery Neptune, and to all the extremely talented and engaging poets! Every performance was superb!

And a big thanks to all those who came out to enjoy the show!
