Man, Am I No An Inky Fechter?

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.

The fun of going insane. Yippee!

And jumping castles are better than trampolines, so you should really look into that possibility instead.

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

[…] 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.

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