Lost 'o New Things

Tue, 15 May 2012 15:16:58 -0400

CouchCouch is back.

After a short sabbatical in Canada’s upper tundra, we’ve found our way back to good old HOTLANTA to thaw our frozen toes, sip some hot cocoa and get this mother back into motion. With Melanie Turner, Henry Detweiler, and Tyler Barnard overseeing the scheduling and hosting of events, we pledge to bring you everything of which our twisted minds can possibly think.

Double feature movie nights will occur on the first Monday of every month.

Open mic poetry and prose with various musical and variety acts will be on the first Thursday of every month.

We will continue to host the OMIGOD HELLO HOW ARE YOU series of literary wonderfulness, at whatever date they damn well please.

We will typically reserve Friday and Saturday nights for more traditional musical performances by local and traveling acts.

But we do not wish to limit ourselves! We want all your precious brains to participate and submit ideas about anything you want to see/do/hear/smell/taste/lick/bite/point at, etc.

Our mission here is to provide the city of Atlanta with a DIY event space, without pretension, that fosters unbounded creativity and excitement.

Love all y’all,
CouchCouch

About this evening’s performance by Joey M.:
“Spider man cabaret or the pilot episode of a new sitcom called ‘Sons of Mary’.”

Furthermore, you don’t wanna miss the snacks. They scrumptious.

Consider wearing something skimpy, for it is quite warm in here. This is not a come on. I mean, it is, but not a sexual one. I just wanna get to know you better, that’s all. What’s the big deal?

“I wrote the story myself.

It’s about a girl who lost her reputation
and never missed it.”
— Mae West

Come get a taste for some of Atlanta’s sauciest female writers and entertainers Sat. Aug. 20 at Couch Couch for BAD BITCHES, presented by Atlanta writers group Kill Your Darlings ATL, April Leigh of Couch Couch, and local writers Melysa Martinez and Jayne O’Connor.

The evening will feature readings by eight local female writers/poets/bad bitches, including slam poetry by the notorious Blondie of the Clermont Lounge, music by El Fossil and Bosco, and a drag show by Twinki.

Doors at 9 p.m. We hope you will join us in time for the readings. (It’s gonna be rad. Promise.)

Free. BYOB.

Readings by:

Blondie - Anita Rae Strange, also known as Blondie, has been dancing at the Clermont Lounge for more than 30 years. Her fame is due to her “tough as nails” persona, her candid poetry, and her bawdy performance. She is not only a seasoned performer in one of the country’s most eclectic establishments, but also as a poet, artist and advocate for gay rights.

Heather Buzzard - Heather is a freshly fired pottery piece of Emory University, where she studied creative writing and majored in something less important. This girl ran the lit mag and now does not have to try hard to not get a real job. Everything she loves most starts with the ‘F’, so she started Festival Family Forest Friends to prove it. As you can tell, Heather is a bad bitch.

Cristen Conger - A journalism graduate of University of Georgia, Cristen is a writer, blogger, podcaster and full-time Internet curator of all things lady-related.

Lavonia Elberton - A country/psychic/medium/shamaness from the Confederate States of Transylvania, known in those parts as “Tarot Tart.”

Amy Herschleb - Amy Herschleb came back to the South and tried to be honest. She is a poet living in Atlanta.

April Leigh - April Leigh is a girl who looks and snaps and thinks the things that cannot be snapped can be yapped instead. nous ne devons pas danser nous embrassons plutôt.

Amariah Love - Amariah is a queer, poly, sex positive nanny, dancer, musician, artist, sex radical, organizer, and writer. She recently graduated from GSU and is endlessly grateful for her radical Atlanta community.

Melysa Martinez - Lover of fire. Complicated since birth. Breech baby.

Jayne O’Connor - Jayne O’Connor is an Atlanta based writer interested in social commentary through the avenues of fiction, essay writing, and obsessive list making. In December 2010, she successfully solved a Rubik’s Cube without cheating.
