Our Friday Lineup: **Stan Pratt** describes his distinct sound as “walking through a futuristic, Blade Runner-esque city at night”. Taking inspiration from Kavinsky, Imogen Heap, and Marina & the Diamonds. Stan’s lyrics are influenced by the introspective writing of Radiohead and Billie Eilish. This year his debut single, “Je Ne Sais Quoi” racked up a quarter of a million streams. **[Watch Stan Pratt Here](https://youtu.be/k4eZ-ow3k8o?si=xDWEujq_3bXii42U)** **EM Kane** writes playfully crafted tales of romance and adventure, drawing you in, then punch you in the gut.

\*\*As it says in the title, the tickets are now technically gone, but if you get on the list quickly, you should have a decent chance to nab one!\*\* I've been describing Nusantara Beat to people as the Indonesian Altin Gun, which is kind of true but not the whole story. They essentially blend trad Indonesian folk music (by way of Amsterdam) with elements of funk and psych rock - it's very 70s-ish to my ears, but also very danceable, which you don't see at every show. Here are some pseudo-live songs: Tamat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBNmVtan21I Sifat Manusia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9Hg9BGyL38 Bakat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHtBCJnKkqA Tickets are sub-£16 including booking fee and they're available [here](https://dice.fm/event/3oey9x-nusantara-beat-30th-jan-moth-club-london-tickets).

**Caller: Dan Kappus** **Band: Trillium** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

Let’s meet and discuss whatever comes to mind about one of Tennesse Williams’ most famous plays.
