Federation of !@#$% Writers!

Warren Lapine, editor for Fantastic Stories of the Imagination, kicked some bucks my way over on Patreon! Thanks, Warren!

Since last year, I've been competing under a secret persona with The Federation of Belligerent Writers!

We’re a bracketed style, masked writing tournament. It was an initially luchador wrestling-inspired contest that began as a mid-week open mic challenge at Ralph’s Rock Diner in Worcester. 

Writers, using a persona, have three to five minutes to write or create an improv routine with that character. Audience members are invited to throw things at participants, drink, and dance. 

It's a damn good time.

I wrote more about it here  at length on The New England Theatre Geek to promote Sindependence Day, Saturday, July 16th, at 9pm, Davis Square Theatre in Somerville.


If you're in Boston or the Somerville area, come and party with us!
