Astoria poet Beth Griffenhagen and The Queens Kickshaw present Un-Valentine's Day, a celebration of all-inclusive love, and love of the written word.
Starting at 7pm, our guests will be invited to participate in a love-haiku contest. This means writing out your best drippy haiku, and having other people vote for their favorites. The evening's winner, decided at 9pm, will receive a special prize package.
What else is in store for the evening?
At 8:30pm, Beth Griffenhagen will read a few selections from her book "Haiku for the Single Girl." Queens Borough Poet Laureate Paolo Javier will also be on hand to woo us with his words.
All night long, DJs Wet Magic Shave and Nick Tha' Smoocher will make hearts swoon with their all-vinyl set featuring mystifying, soul stirring, break-neck funk, international, and vintage tunes.
