DEATH, REBIRTH, AND CATASTROPHIC INTENT

THE CHORA LIVES! AMERICAN HERESY ANNOUNCES ITS 2008-2009 THEME:
WHAT WE DID AFTER: Artists Respond To a World After It Ends
What if the world already ended, and this is what’s left? What have we been waiting for? We have all the same problems, only now they’re worse. Those entrusted with the means and power to solve these problems have only served to replicate those same problems in different areas for different people. What if we shook ourselves loose from the sleepy hangover of cultural indoctrination that tells us that disaster is about to strike, stopped waiting for a savior, and took life into our own hands?
More updates soon, but for now, prepare yourselves. This is about to get very exciting.
News in the Projects realm:
NEW! East Bay Writer’s Group/Jam Sessions: A chorus of separate but synonymous conversations have occurred in the last several weeks, all about the need for the CHORA and writers in general to reconnect. One deliciously successful reading on August 18th spawned several such conversations. Then, Paul Corman-Roberts of such affiliations as Cherry Bleeds and Awaken Café sent out a call for a BART-friendly writer’s group. This reminds us that we still want to create an online bulletin board where you can track your contest and journal submission deadlines and yap at one another, near and far, about your latest progress. Does anyone have a suggestion for decent BB software?
Also, the Shoeshines now live all of four! blocks from 12th St. BART in Oakland. If you’re not on Events News Jobs - and you’d know it if you were - send us an email at cshoeshine(at)americanheresy.com. We’ll let you know when the first Exploratory Brainstorm of Postapocalyptic Glee gets on the calendar.
BLOGGING
Want a chance to have a “Contributing Editor” credit on your resume for only 1-2 hours per week? The time has come. American Heresy: The Newsblog needs more contributors. We want to turn this into a multi-contributor format, much like Slate, Salon, the Gawker empire’s various messes, etc. There will be a meeting in early September to discuss interest, the details, beats, the general direction of the blog, etc. In the meantime, head over to the newsblog to check out some recent posts. If you’re interested, as always, email cshoeshine(at)americanheresy.com.
