Doreen Bolger on First Day at the Creative Alliance

Doreen Bolger had some nice things to say about the set I curated at the Creative Alliance on Jan 1st (First Day).

"I caught Justin Sirois’s segment and I loved it. It was casual and unpredictable. During it, Lauren Bender read poems she wrote that day. They were her New Year’s resolutions, but we in the audience got to vote on her choices for the year ahead—from alternatives like compiling an illustrated timeline about the Middle Ages or imagining what to do with an L. Ron Hubbard implant. Adam Trice, lead guitar and vocals in his “graveyard country rock band” Red Sammy, presented his Christmas wish list, both hilarious and touching. Jamie Gaughran-Perez of Narrow House, at work on tales about a super heroine, delivered the funniest line I’ve heard in a while: “I’m not gay, I’m from the future.”
