No name calling week

Two pics I took from the halls of the elementary school I was in last night.

I especially love the “No! Name! Calling! Week!” — can’t we have that as a national holiday?

Also note that at Voice Level zero, students are advised not to eat fish skeletons.

Laura reading at 1000 Words Series

Laura will be reading at the 1,000 Words reading series (hosted by Mel Favara) this very Monday. Here’s the release. The website is here – but it’s not updated yet. If you haven’t been to one – it’s a very fun series.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 1,000 WORDS READING: THEFT

7PM sharp, MONDAY, MARCH 2 AT THE MAIDEN, 639 SE MORRISON STREET (503-232-5553)

FREE

ALL-AGES VENUE UNTIL 10; THE READING WILL BE OVER BY 9

PETE KREBS TO FOLLOW

Please join the 1,000 Words Reading Series to witness four great writers—Young Brilliant Upstart Maddie Camp, Bold Fictionista Sara Kolp, impresario, writer, teacher, and all around literary go-to girl Laura Moulton, and stellar Portland poet Wendy Noonan will each read four tiny, 250-word pieces written for the occasion over the past month, based on the theme THEFT and a set of prompts and arbitrary rules provided weekly by series curator Mel Favara. It will be fast and fancy if not furious. Vancouver emo-punk trio We Play Quiet will also play songs based on the writers’ prompts, which is a phenomenon not to be missed, unless you don’t mind missing things that are singularly fantastic.

Elizabeth Gilbert on the origin of creativity at TED

Here’s an incredibly wonderful piece on creativity, the origin of, and more specifically on surviving it, from Elizabeth Gilbert at TED. For those who are not smitten with her by the end, you are stronger than I.

I just love this image:

Happy President’s day.

Every time I hear “happy president’s day” I think of a laughing president, playing at the beach maybe, or at a cocktail party, telling jokes and being gay. It’s a nice image.
