Now that all of us at Gold Man Review are fighting over
which stories and poems we want to have published, we’d like to take a timeout
for icepacks and gauze, but more especially to hear back from you.
Other than a shiny, solid gold (I’m assuming it’s solid)
mascot that just begs to have its nose polished, what services or events would
you like a regional literary magazine to contribute to the community? Your
community? Remember the more people who read GMR the bigger the literary
community of Eugene gets. Some delirious ideas are as follows, though we hope
you may have some better suggestions:
Half a dozen golden pioneers washing cars with sponges
shaped like pickaxes to fundraise for literacy.
Writing workshops in which all attendees dress up like their
favorite Portlandia character.
Sasquatch reading children’s books in a tiny chair to
kindergarteners.
Flash-mob-style readings at the Woodburn outlet mall (with
or without Sasquatch, TBD).
A thirty-mile, single-file hike on the Lewis and Clark trail
that doubles as a lecture titled, Follow
that Raccoon Skin Cap to Self-Publishing.
To Tree or Not to Tree:
a vegan barbeque at Alton Baker Park in which the pros and cons of paper and
eBook publishing are discussed.
Water balloon fight filled with environmentally-safe gold
liquid, followed by a 5K run to raise awareness of environmentally-safe gold
liquid.
Speed-reading contests: location to be determined—either at
a very quiet place or a very loud place, but there will be a buzzer.
An all-out social media blitz proclaiming Eugene, Oregon as
the center of the literary universe.
Got any ideas?
