Or not. If not, you should see some art.
Migraine is basically right up there with my least favorite physical sensation, insomnia. Just as in the times when I cannot sleep, the times when I have a migraine are not only debilitating and painful but emotionally distressing – predominantly because I find pain boring. I can’t think or write, can’t talk. All I can really do is clean, because even sleep is either elusive or too painful.
So please accept my apologies, I am just about to post the event details of two things happening this week, both which I am honored to be a part of and very much looking forward to taking place.
If you are upright and do not have a migraine tomorrow night you should come to this, especially if you have insomnia
Tongues of Flame @Basement Late Nights for Brisbane Festival
Join host David Stavanger aka Ghostboy hosting an evening of sensual sound and spoken word presented in association with Queensland Poetry Festival. Along with special guests: spoken word artist Eleanor Jackson, installation poet Ryan Van Winkle (Edinburgh), boho storyteller Adam Hadley (Mr Fibby), angular pop sharks The Stress of Leisure (duo mode) and the mysterious DJ Zaziz. Ghostboy will take the night on an interactive journey that will be part performance poetry theatre, part surrealist vaudeville, part dark comedy, all spoken weird. Once you enter, there is no turning back. Expect the unexpected. Let the words take flight.

I will be the slightly depleted looking woman in the corner, bringing stories of dates gone terribly terribly wrong. Either because you kill your date. Or you kill your date.
