Bent: A Writing Institute

Why settle for one Pride event or just one version of Pride?
Queer up your Pride weekend and make it Bent!

The students of Bent Writing Institute - who you know and love -
and Tara Hardy, Bent Founder and Director, will be proudly performing
all throughout Pride 2006!

Catch 22 of ‘em
11am, Saturday, June 24
Seattle Center, Center House Main Stage

and THEN,

Head up that afternoon (6/24) to Volunteer Park
and see 15 of ‘em at QueerFest, joining a bevy of artists*,
1pm, 2pm, 3:30pm, 5pm, and 8pm

Bent will also have a booth at the Seattle Center Pride festivities
on Saturday and Sunday. Be sure to stop by and find out the 411 on Bent,
hear about the nationally renowned poet coming to our showcase
in October 2006, or chat up your favorite Bent performer.

Have fun - be well - write lots,

Your friends at Bent

*Bent will take the stage at QueerFest with
the Queen Bees, Von Foxies, Katastrophe, 669,
Victor Victoria, Dudley Saunders, and

In May 2006, we moved our digs to the LGBT Center, at 1115 E. Pike St., in
the heart of Capitol/First Hill. We’ve got tons of light, totally queer
environs, and great community group neighbors to put more of our creative
juices into motion. Even better, we got more space for more students!

If you haven’t already, come by and visit us! Or sign up for the next cycle
of classes. Get Bent at: info@bentwriting.com. Also, check out our neighbors
and the Center at: seattlelgbt.org.

Keep on writin' - your friends at Bent
