Man, Am I No An Inky Fechter?

Well, August is shaping up to be a rather busy month, isn’t it? Will I remain sane? Who knows. Still, it’ll be fun. Especially the somewhat madcap event I’ve cooked up for the Inky Fingers Minifest along with Rob A Mackenzie and Helen Ivory.

Entitled “A Knife Fight in a Telephone Box”, it’s a battle to the death — or something quite loosely resembling death — between three Salt authors and three from the Rest of the World. In the Salt corner: me, Rob and Alexander Hutchison. Boldly attempting to fend off our attempt at world domination are: Helen Ivory, Helena Nelson and Martin Figura.

Details of this eagerly awaited literary contest are still being kept secret. However, there will be rounds. And pointless points. Meanwhile, rumours of a trampoline abound. (Boom, boom!)

The full Minifest programme is here.

    I know they are better because I rented a jumping castle for my thirtieth birthday.

  4. […] A Knife Fight in a Telephone Box Our madcap poetry competition, in which the competition had little really to do with the poetry, was a hoot. Of course, the best thing about it was that the Salt team won! I certainly won’t forget the evening, especially Sandy Hutchison’s rendition of Kipling’s “If” to the tune of “Abide With Me” and Rob A Mackenzie’s rendition of Shakespeare’s sonnet 118 with ice cubes.

  5. Jumping Castles are really better than trampolines and it was safe to play especially with kids.
