It’s about that time of year again— when you realize those New Year’s resolutions sounded cooler before the ball dropped, and no matter how hard you try you’re always gonna smoke, eat too much, or weigh more than you’d like. That’s just how life goes.

Despite your nagging sense of failure, not everything in life has to suck, and on Thursday January 24th 7 p.m. at Richard Hugo House, “Cheap Wine and Poetry” will give you something to be happy about, kicking off 2008 with novelist Rebecca Brown, poets Felicia Gonzalez and [RIVET”s own!!] Kathryn Lebo, and monologist Sean O’Connor.

If that line-up isn’t life-affirming enough, we have something else that is— cheap wine for a buck a glass. It goes great with a smoke, and after a couple, you won’t care what you eat or how much you weigh; you’ll be drunk.

So shrug off those post-New Year’s blues and put back a few with us at the next “Cheap Wine and Poetry.” We’ll make your life worth living!

WHAT: “Cheap Wine and Poetry” with Rebecca Brown, Felicia Gonzalez, Kathryn Lebo, and Sean O’Connor. Hosted by Charla Grenz.

WHEN: Thursday, January 24th 7 p.m.
