Writer’s Block Poetry is having their next First Draft Poetry Night on Friday, February 13 at 8:00 P.M. Cover for this night is $3.00. This is a new poem only night hosted by WB’s own Joanna Schroeder – come out and get inspired or read your newest poetry! And the feature is….”Wonder Dave” Crady!
From Joanna Schroeder:
“For those of you who missed Wonder Dave’s amazing performance as one
of the Indie Finalists at the 2008 Rust Belt, he is a writer and
performer from Minneapolis. He has Represented Minnesota at two
National Poetry Slams and once at the Individual World Poetry Slam.
He’s performed at colleges and slams across the country. In addition
to being a writer Dave is also an accomplished comedic actor and
improvisor.
He also included the following quotes from his press clippings:
‘Wonder Dave Crady is a firecracker – a joyous, take-no-prisoners,
reveling in his geekdom, won’t back down from a fight against
intolerance firecracker. I think I’m a little in love with Wonder
Dave after this show.’ -Matthew Everett- fringefestival.org
‘Wonder Dave is a human carnival, the sort of host and performer
that commands attention even when he’s doing something mundane like
ordering a drink.’- -Vita.mn magazine
Clearly, you do not want to miss your chance to see what new work
Wonder Dave has up his sleeve.
His feature will be followed by the First Draft Open Mic, where new
poems and new poets are always welcome. Have you been furiously
scribbling haiku ever since last month’s show? Have you been
gathering your courage for years, and feel like you might finally be
ready for the mic? Whatever your story, we want to hear what your
poems have to say – so bring them out for a great show this Friday.”

On tap that night is none other than (drumroll, please)………New Year, Nuku!
Now you’re probably asking: what in the holy HECK is New Year, Nuku!
It is all haiku. All NEW, NEVER PERFORMED BEFORE IN PUBLIC Haiku. An eight-poet, three-round haiku death match. And they are serious when they mean NEW Haiku only. Trust me…..you don’t want “old-ass ku” shouted at you from the audience.
