October 15, 2015 marked the launch of our second False Key collection of stories and poems, Somewhere South of Sane, another successful excursion to our favorite fantasy island. The old crew was there to greet us--Jex, the naughty angel; Regine, the teenaged witch; Candice, the resident shaman; Tentacles, the corpulent bar owner and many new faces, too both below and above the turbulent waters. We read story excerpts, enjoyed great food and conversation, and of course, CAKE! Special thanks to Corina and Magnolia Cakes, Stuart Coffee Company, and all our friends and supporters for sharing our joy.
Attending the Howl means fine entertainment from established and rising authors, poets and songwriters. Tales of heartbreak and terror, songs of love and laughter give us all a reason to come together. This month we enjoyed Mar-sha's verses with and without ukulele accompaniment. We grooved to Sean's spoken word observations on life. We hope you'll join us next time--we meet on the Third Thursday of every month at the Stuart Coffee Co. in Historic Downtown Stuart, Florida. NEXT HOWL: THURS, AUG 20, 2015

The mic we're standing at was provided for our use by graphic artist Dj Voelker. See my aqua-colored wristband?
