The Not-There-Yet TWLIGHT TALES at LE CREPERIE: DARK CHRONICLES

This would not have been as well-remembered as Twilight Tales would be, the back room was a confined area and it was hard to be heard because of water fountains just outside the back door. Still, it was a lot of fun, I still can't recall how long it went on, but there was a gap between DC and TT, which began, as I'll remind you again, the night Bill Bixby died of prostate cancer. That following Monday, Frank Zappa died of prostate cancer, but that was it for celebrity deaths that month.

THE START OF THE WEEKLY or MONTHLY READINGS

I'm a week late in posting this, as usual, but Twilight Tales, which was started by Tina Jens, was a weekly reading series that went on for over fifteen years and won awards and really kept a lot of writers hanging in there with their open mic nights.

The Red Lion at that spot right now is a sports bar, so don't go there. I miss the place, and I miss the coolest bartender around, Joe Heinen. But it all started in 1993. On the day Bill Bixby died of prostate cancer.
