As you all know, I’m a big fan and ardent supporter of the open-mic night Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids (or GRTTWAK, for short).
So it’s with a little joy that I tell you the latest.
To paraphrase an e-mail I received on Wednesday morning from my friend – and GRTTWAK founder – Dan Misener:
- GRTTWAK’s next Toronto date will be Monday, July 14 at 8 p.m., in the Gladstone Hotel ballroom.
- There is apparently now also a podcast, which features highlights from previous events.
- GRTTWAK is finally spreading the awesomeness. Ottawa’s first GRTTWAK night is scheduled for June 2nd at Velvet Room; Montreal’s is TBA … but it’s comin’.
Check out the Web site for more information on the upcoming events and the podcast, as well as the “rules and regulations”.
And then get into your attics and basements and start a-diggin’. ‘Cause this could be gooooood.

hey there!
good to see you’re blogging again… i missed you for a while! it’s so hard to stay on top of things, especially when there’s not a lot of motivation (i’m speaking from personal experience).
i’ve heard you mention this event before and it sounds very interesting… unfortunately for me, i’ll be away in July, so won’t be able to make it this time. perhaps the next one though?!

Sorry – it’s been insane the last few weeks.
GRTTWAK always has events every few months or so … so even if you miss this one, there will *always* be future events … and it just seems to get bigger and bigger.

So does this mean you’ll be coming to Ottawa for the inaugural one?

Alas, I sadly do not think so, since June 2nd is a workday for me. But it’s definitely a nice thought. Maybe I’ll just wait for the pictures and podcast that will probably follow….
