Secretly Y'all: Overworked and Underpaid: Tales from the Workplace

So, I’m a big fan of the girls over at Secretly Y’all. Sure, they’re pretty cool folks, but it’s mostly because they update their blog so often that it gives me content to write about over here; ergo we don’t look like such a ghost town. Don’t get me wrong. We totally are. I’m starting to suspect that Loki & Belmont Yo didn’t make it through the blizzard of ‘09, and I’m left to wander around this place like the Omega Man, surviving on twinkies and vodka. Honestly, add some Texas Pete and that’s almost exactly my diet now.

Anyway, to get to the point here, there’s another Secretly Y’all event coming up this weekend. Most of the details are the same (Random Row Books, Sunday, 7PM). I believe that there is still a $5 suggested donation at the door (the girls have to pay rent for the space), and it’s recommended to bring a folding chair for yourself. There’s more info over at the Secretly Y’all site, which you can get to by clicking the image or checking out our blogroll on the right side. I’d copy/paste the info over here like I usually do, but my clipboard is currently full of the content that I’m busy plagiarizing from other blogs. You’re gonna have to work for it this week. You really should be checking out that blog on the regular anyway. They keep a fairly steady stream of content going and don’t allow their social lives (read: alcoholism) to prevent them from constantly putting up new stuff. That’s a lesson that some of you could stand to learn. Oh wait… no… no. I’m the one that needs that lesson.

I’m hoping to participate again this week, but it’s not a sure thing just yet. The girls have had such a positive response that they’re still tweaking the speaker structure in order to make sure that all of the new folks get a chance. I believe the first 7 speakers will be all new, and then they’re going to be picking names out of a hat until time runs out. We’ll be pre-gaming before the show in hopes of amassing enough liquid courage to perform if the hat rules in our favor. If you want to join us for the pre-game, we should be at the West Main bar starting at around 5:30 or 6PM.

Hope to see you there!
