The Owl Manifesto:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that Ottawa holds untapped numbers of talented writers; that all great art communities come from supporting other artists; that cross-pollination of the disciplines is a Good Thing; that literary readings should first and foremost be about exposing yourself to the styles and opinions and work of a variety of other writers, and should be about having fun with the language; that art and politics are not, and should not be, entirely distinct; and that art in its many forms can build community and make a difference. And that we would like to be "a non-partisan, multilateral, cross-disciplinary Force for Good."

Cumming and LaBruce

What do Alan Cumming and Bruce LaBruce have in common, besides fame and all the boys they could ever want?

They both have Tattoo This Madness In...

I have a cool bet with LaBruce that if TTMI pierces his hectic art-making schedule and gets him to read again, he'll post his miracle-healing testimonial here.

Stay tuned...
