In February we had a lovely evening of live poetry writing & reading, live music and live love note writing hosted by Secession Art & Design.I had such fun talking with people and writing love notes - completely inspiring to see what folks did with the blank i love you cards. To think there is a story behind each one! Don't miss "i love you like the salt loves the meat." Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun. I hope more live love note writing sessions are in the future.

Silvi read from her book of poems, "sometimes we must swarm". And check out the amazing Jamie on the uke (ah! that voice!) and see Silvi's art on the wall.

POETRY:Come see the poetry store's latest work and get a poem from the poet herself! Silvi Alcivar will be writing on-demand poems and at 6:30pm she'll read some poems, including excerpts from her new book "sometimes we must swarm." (www.thepoetrystore.net)MUSIC:Jamie McKenzie of pocket full of rye will be strumming her ukelele and filling the gallery with gorgeous song. Hooray! (www.pocketfullofrye.net)LOVE LETTERS:Help create a love themed art piece! Join Shannon Weber, creator of www.LoveYou2.org, and help change the world one love note at a time by writing your own love note. No prep necessary. Just bring your heart.Live love note writing is a pop-up love note writing experience within an event or community, creating an interactive art display or crowd-sourced public display of affection. The perfect adjunct to an event (art gallery opening, gala, team building, party, school, conference, fair) providing brief and meaningful interactions with individual guests AND a public art piece unique to your event. This is a fabulous photo opportunity with major social media sharing potential. I'd love to host a live love note writing experience at your next event. Contact me at LoveYou2.org@gmail.com for more information. Or you can host your own live love note writing event - kits available in the Etsy shop.
