Weekly Volcano scribe Jackie Fender has created Creative Colloquy aiming to share Tacoma's rich literary talents and foster relationships built upon mutual admiration of the written word. Held the last Monday at B Sharp Coffee House, the spoken word night has been so successful a print publication is in the works with a driving Indiegogo campaign. CC heads back to the B this week with Pierce County Prosecutor and author Mark Lindquist in the house as the emcee, keeping Joshua Swainston, Alec Clayton (performed by actor Steve Tarry), Aaron Flett and Dawn Ellis between the lines, reading from selected pieces of work and immediately followed by an open mic. Come imbibe in libations or sip on roasted bean concoctions and watch storytellers do the thing they do best - narrate their tales.
