For the very first time, five members of WriteOn Joliet will be part of Tim Placher's Porch & Park Music Fest in Joliet - with a sixth member returning for the second year.
They are Mauverneen Blevins, Holly Coop, Barbara Eberhard, Cean Magosky (who appeared at last year's event, too), Sue Midlock, and me, displaying and selling BryonySeries and WriteOn Joliet books and other products, such as BryonySeries baseball caps and water bottles.
You'll find original poetry and photography (Mauverneen and Holly), handpainted greeting cards that benefit Lightways Hospice and Serious Illness Care in Joliet (Barbara), local history (books and postcards, Cean), paranormal romance and Southern humor (Sue), and phantasmic books for all ages (BryonySeries).
And that's in addition to some outstanding music in a really fun and lowkey atmosphere.
Now, you might not see me as I'm still recovering from surgery, which is disapointing, since I worked the weekend of the first Porch & Park Music Fest - and covered the event for The Herald-News in Joliet, which was awesome to behold.
So although I'm hoping to pop out for a small bit, other members of the BryonySeries team will be handling BryonySeries and WriteOn Joliet products and keeping an eye on Uncle Barty and Bertrand the Mouse, as well as WriteOn Joliet's very special mascot, who will be ready to party once again (two events in a row only tire the humans, not the non-human stuffies).
Timothy and Daniel will also be unveiling information on B.L.O.C.K.S. Don't know what that is? Stop by the BryonySeries booth at 616 Western Avenue and see!
And if you come out to New Orleans North on Friday night, you'll enjoy two consectutive days of very unique, very Joliet events for free or very low cost.
The Porch & Park Music Fest will take place 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 16 on and around porches Joliet's historical Cathedral Area.
