We’ll commiserate\, celebrate\, and sing to works by an incredible list of writers\, from Steve Almond to Vanessa Hua. \n \nSingers from terrible to not very good are invited to arrive early to reserve a song\, such as Rihanna’s “Stay” reimagined as “I Want You to Pay\,” and Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline\,” as a song about deadlines called “Shit\, Need More Time.” \nDuets and groups are encouraged. Middle-school-style spur-of-the-moment choreography would be incredible. Don’t want to sing? We need you as a go-go dancer! \n \nWill there be wigs and costumes? Perhaps. Tambourines? Maybe. Shameless displays of tuneless talent? You bet your ass. \n \nYour host and living lit mag editor will be former Made at Hugo House Fellow\, author of Welcome to the Writer’s Life\, and shower song screamer\, Paulette Perhach. \n \nThis event is sponsored by A Very Important Meeting\, an online space to strengthen your focus and prioritize your writing among like-minded creatives. It puts concentration\, productivity\, and community\, the essential building blocks of a thriving writer’s life\, right there on your calendar.  \n \nThe House bar will be open to serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.  \n \nAdmission is offered on a sliding scale\, from $0-$25. Revenue from ticket sales directly supports Hugo House's mission to provide space for all to read words\, hear words\, and make their own words better. We encourage you to pick a ticket price that is right for you. \n \nPlease note: Our venue can accommodate seating for 150 attendees. Pre-registration to this event is strongly encouraged\, and will be open until 1 hour before the start of the event. After this\, walk-in registration will be available at the door. \n \nTo learn more about AWP Conference & Bookfair\, visit their website here. \nTo learn more about Hugo House’s AWP events\, visit our AWP page here.
