Get Involved
You. Yes, you. We want you. Make friends with us. Have a drink. Read a poem. Play any string instrument of your choosing. We won’t judge. Yes, yes, now isn’t that better?
Send us emails: westsideschoolforthedesperate @ gmail.com
Look for us on facebook: West Side School for the Desperate
Start up a School for the Desperate in your neighborhood.
We want to get to know you and hear your ideas for shows, see your work, and support each other as desperate youth in a blood thirsty time.
If you’d like to book a show here please refer to the email address above and send us tentative dates/proposals/whatever information you have. We will never be able to do your show on the 3rd Saturday of the month! That is when Bad News Bible Church takes place.
We request that you email us at least six weeks in advance to when you want to do your event. We also require a sit-down meeting at least one month in advance if possible (obviously this is not possible for touring artists).
wowee kazowee……. do you need a cleaning lady? got a cot in the broom closet i could use? i’m such an old old old lady who would kill for the chance to be in your midst, i’m one of those spineless women, you know the type, i was to be seen but not heard, but always in my soul, i wanted to scream, shout, create, live, laugh, celebrate….. and now, so old now, i still feel like i have a song to sing (well, the voice is gone, but i write ersatz poetry and paint very badly)….let me know, i’m stuck here in limbo, out in the boondocks of desire, i can live communally with anyone too, walk dogs, feed cats, water plants, bake meatloaves to die for….. you can find me most days on guard shores beach out on the eastern shore of virginia, waiting for my ship to come in, waiting for a big wave to sweep me back into civilization, creativity, life.
