BUMBERSHOOT INSIDER DEAL PRESALE ON NOW!

Here's the scoop: Bumbershoot single day-specific tickets (Saturday, Sunday or Monday) go on sale on July 15 for $35/day. After August 15, ticket prices increase to $40/day. Not bad, but you're an Insider and want special perks...

So, why don't you buy before everyone else, and pay a measly $25 per day? The Insider Deal is available now exclusively at bumbershoot.org/insider (REDIRECT http://www.bumbershoot.org/tickets/promo.htm?access=TEENANGST&utm_source=SARABYNOE&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=insider08). Use your special promo code: "TEENANGST" and save 38%!

This is a limited offer that will expire without notice when discounted tickets sell out. Once the Insider Deal runs out, the $25 tickets will no longer be available anywhere, so don't say we didn't warn you! Please note: these tickets are day-specific. Be sure to check out the by-day lineup* (REDIRECT http://www.bumbershoot.org/lineup.htm) before purchasing your tickets.

I feel angsty.

As you know I've spent six years on a project, been on national radio, in national papers, in international magazines and still the Globe and Mail (who really broke the story on me in 2003) missed me this past week. Boo.

Here is a link to a story about a show in Toronto: Grown-ups Reading Stuff they Wrote As Kids- which is basically my show. My angst is, I wasn't even mentioned in it, but all these American shows who began at least two years after me were noted. Boo hoo.

My question to you is- if it doesn't happen in Toronto does it matter? Oh wait, I was in Toronto April 2005 when my book came out and did the whole media whore thing and even had a reading.

So here's a reminder to you- March 8 at The Annex (307 W Cordova st, Vancouver) from 8-10 pm I will be having a Teen Angst Night, and you're all invited to come and to share your old writing or just pass it on, I did it first (that I know of).

TeenAngstPoetry.com is currently under repairs, so help me by putting good vibes out so I can get it back up ASAP and show off the beautiful angst that is contained there.

If you have friends in Toronto let them know that I'm gonna be out there this summer rocking my Teen Angst Poetry with a show in the Fringe Festival.

Thank you all for your love and support.

Teen Angst: A Retro Comedy Night

Thursday March 8 at The Annex, 307 W Cordova Street, Vancouver, 8-10 pm
7:30 sign up begins.

An open mic comedic reading series where everyday people read from their embarrassing old journals, poems, songs, essays (and more), in front of an audience. Hosted by Sara Bynoe

Part stand-up comedy, part poetry reading, part karaoke (in the way you go to watch people embarrass themselves). Similar shows are popping up all over North America, come and the one that's been going strong since 2000! (That's like 6 years of angst- you could go through high school twice again!)

I hope you can come!

If you've never been, now is the time.

Quit taking yourself so seriously and join us as we laugh at ourselves and what we thought we knew.
