Last night’s intimate Salon was lovely. Convergence of Beer week, sports games, Mann Center, and other events had a lot of our regular readers elsewhere. However, some very daring new readers came forth and offered to read works of others.

Chris Farrell’s composition and musical talents surprised everyone. The back story to his composition certainly fit

A long weekend of Zydeco dancing, close, in your face, steamy, swaying moves. If that is not erotic I’m not certain of definition.

Could use some more readers for tomorrow night. Even if you don’t write, recite your favorite erotica or one you think the attendees would enjoy hearing.

Hope to see you all tomorrow. If you

THE EROTIC LITERARY SALON – KIMBERLY GARDNER

admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 14:46:00 +0000

I want to thank all who attended yesterday’s Salon, another evening of some fine readings. Kimberly Gardner, our featured reader, gave us the opportunity to enjoy homo-erotic writings written by a hetero-women. Her intro and Q&A enlighten the audience to this style of writing and informed us of the large audience of hetero-women readers and writers. All new to me.

She was also the first reader at the Salon to use an instrument specifically designed for the visually impaired (Kimberly has been blind since she was 5). It was a type of computer that she held in her lap and allowed her to read her words from the braille symbols it produced. Fascinating. It was a great read and she has an invitation to return next year when another of her novels is published.
