It's A Salon!

Here's another bonbon for your brain's tastebuds: the next Princess Seismograph's Salon is coming this Thursday, Sept. 15! It's going to feature laser-laureled poet (and editor of Hoarse magazine) Emily Wittenhagen



alongside musical groups Loco3


and the Lonely Coast.


It's going to be a sublime night!

We open doors at 7:30, and start at 8 pm. Cover is $5, getting you food, drink, and art. As always, the Salon will be held at the Third Space, ground floor back side of the INScape Building, 815 Airport Way S. in the International District.

You're welcome to BYOB and potluck to add to cheer. More information, as usual, at http://princessseismograph.blogspot.com/!

See you in a week!

Love
the Princess

Follow 5th Ave. three blocks, then take the soft left onto Airport Way, then an immediate right into the building's driveway. We have free parking behind the building!

The Inaugural Salon is Upon Us!

Hey Seismonauts! We're back and you know we missed us. Some of us took a little break to get married. But now for something completely different:

We are ever so proud to introduce, Princess Seismograph's Salon! (Click on that owl's face, go ahead.)

A new series of art/music happenings, readings, and shows - bringing together our favorite poets, cartoonists, bands, troubadours, video artists, and others from Seattle and everywhere else. We will be selecting three acts for each show - absolutely anything might happen.

This coming Friday is our very first Salon and it promises to be a fantastic time. Won't you join us?

(Addendum to the poster: due to sudden circumstances Jennifer Denrow will not be able to make it on Friday. We are working on lining up a new act to replace her and rest assured, there WILL be three performers and the new situation will be handpicked from the finest.)

The Flying Pony

Ding dang. We back from the minkey.




We ended up one night with Chris who makes the awesome comic Zebratron in his friend's amazing apartment full of musical instruments (he said "a lot of instruments" but i was not prepared for what awaited us) and ANYWAY POINT IS guy gave us this pony. We flew back home on it. Thanks guy!

We also got to hang out with the delicious Maria Sputnik (of Forty Four Presidents fame. Seriously. Buy this book, I ain't joking. ) and so many other really luscious book and object makers.... Thanks for making them objects.


I got sick immediately upon return pony landing so I don't think my brain works too good right now. Jay and I are making a APE comic for his kenyon blogue. Stay tuned! See you on the moon!

staple tunnel

It is a time of much stapling and cutting here in the Princess's subterranean lair.

Last night we tried to sew some bindings with my demon of a sewing machine and it was a catasterpiece. Fortunately we had colored staples instead. I have to admit, we got pretty excited about the colored staples. Do you want to know what color they were? They were green.
Also fortunately, we listened to the Ween album "White Pepper." Its invocation to be exactly where we were at was well met, and we were.

Jay Proposes Marriage

Hello sweethearts-- I'd like to drag a spotlight onto the zine I'm selling through this site and at APE.

It's a little book of poems (5.5" x 4.25", eight poems, 16 pages) called Marry Me, written over the last fifteen months, including a translation of my ex-boyfriend, Rainer Maria Rilke, and the notorious "Crescent Moon," published in The Stranger's Seattle Poetry Chain.

If you're interested in Marry Me, I'll sell it to you for $4 postage included or for trade for YOUR zine/artwork/sheaf/leaf collection. Email us for my address.

Also: I co-edit the astounding literary magazine Thermos and keep a column on poetry and literature with the storied Kenyon Review, but I also keep a personal blog here. Dig me!

-Jay
