Hi all-- Hex and I will be taking a short break from virtual worlds in early February.  This means Jez (the other me) will be AWOL as well.  Some events will surely occur here during our absence, but I'll be unavailable for inworld emergencies or questions Feb. 2- 9.  During our vacation time, Hex and I will be going camping for a few days, fishing some, seeing some arts events in our community, and doing some of the work that must be done to ready our RL home for sale.  This time away is the reason this month's Belle Demeure newsletter is a two-parter that overlaps with February.  NOTE TO ALL WHO HOST EVENTS AT BELLE DEMEURE:  For inclusion in our next newsletter, please have event listings to me no later than Feb. 9 at 3 AM SLT.  If you would like events listed in our calendar or posted to the SL Events Guide, get them to me by 3 AM the Wednesday before the event is scheduled.  ________________________________________________________________...

Keyah Kyomoon's poetry will challenge you to think and defy you not to laugh out loud.  One of SL's most prolific poets is well known for candor and a sharp focus on telling the truth, no matter how outrageous, painful, or rediculous that truth may seem.  Keyah is not shy or shallow and this shows in the poems set for display in The Poesy Gallery at Belle Demeure.  The poems included in Mindlands are accompanied by art that is every bit as provocative as the poetself.  Two of SL's best known spoken word performers, Klannex Northmead and Freda Frostbite, will perform several of Keyah's poem at the opening of Mindlands this Sunday .   Both are excited to have this opportunity to share the work of a fellow poet they admire and appreciate.  The opening celebration and poetry reading will start at 2 PM SLT at the Poesy Gallery.
