An old SL friend of mine, Persephone Phoenix, built what she calls a poet's dive bar called The Blue Angel, complete with comfy chairs and crushed ciggies on the floor. I swung by to check out a poetry reading event. It was well attended and there was enough material presented to more than cover the scheduled event duration. I used to attend the regular Poetry Guild weekly event hosted by Hensonian Pennyfeather, but work commitments prevent me being home at a reasonable hour and I don't get to these any longer (nor do I get to the great trivia events at The Shelter, which I've always had fun with). The Blue Angel was more than up to the task. There was some inspiring work, some fun work and everyone was sociable.
I followed that up with a live music event featuring Spence Wilder, an artist I hadn't seen before. I was a bit skeptical of viewing a show at a casino, but Wilder was decent. The singer covered the Violent Femmes, which was a pleasant surprise.
