7:30 p

Jaks Tap

901 W. Jackson

Waiting 4 the Bus

Featuring...Janet Kuypers...and Janet sez: Hi there... It's my birthday, and my husband takes a flight out of town this morning on a work trip. So I figure, since I'm here, and it's a Monday, it's exactly two weeks before my next poetry reading feature/performance art show. So I figured I'd send you an ultra-early message to let you know about it...July 6th is the first time I will be featured at Waiting 4 the Bus (W4tB is an energetic, eclectic, electric poetry powerhouse that fires up on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month, hosted by Buddah309... Right by the Loop in downtown Chicago at Jaks Tap — the back room, 901 W. Jackson, Chicago IL 60035). This 7:30-10pm evening starts with an open mic, and features get a 20 minute set each... I have seen two features during an evening at Waiting 4 the Bus — and for this July 6th show, I am the only feature for the night (so I'm pulling out all the stops for this show!). After seeing one acts of play performances in Chicago 05/17/09 (where one was of a single man telling a story, like a prose poem), I thought that this show of mine on 07/06/09 at Waiting 4 the Bus is exactly that — a series of "one acts". So this is bound to be a fascinating event with not only background noise (including bus noise and one-line sampling from Soul Coughing, but also water sound effects and meditation music) and projected images and videos with a new large screen for my artwork during the performance. Tack on a few picture frames with images from around the world on display throughout the show, and there will be tons in this performance art show at this new downtown Chicago venue! So you've got the date early... if you're interested - stop by this evening by the Loop in downtown at Waiting 4 the Bus (at Jaks Tap — the back room, 901 W. Jackson) right after the 4th of July celebrations!
