Dodds & Tierney Throw Hissy Fit Over Word Detrain and Refuse to Detrain

The train docked at the Edmonton Trainport at 7:42:03 am. Dodds and Tierney took a chatty cabby to Edmonton’s epicentre and decabbed. Dodds and Tierney checked in, elevatored, room-keyed, zonked out, woke up, met and gret and re-gretted nothing.

Edmonton Poetry Festival Hijinks:

Reading Survivor style. Simulcast headliners makes for polyfurcated audiences. Readings were accompanied by aggressive percussive espresso machines and screams of joyeaux coffee sippers. D_____ Barbour and S_____ Scobie salted the proceedings with voice box bleats. What tweets! They stole the show. We retreated to the R_____ & C_____ to sup on fresh ale and chicken fingers [sic]. Nerve-ended the eve with bourbon and pizza [sick].

Next day, showdown ho down no mo’ throw down at the Artery, shazam! Walked down Jasper Ave. to the venue. Limited menu. Munched on butterless popcorn. Listened to the gothic berm, power outage, sensitive electrical panel, plaid skirt, tic-talk -- here’s the a-hum moment – Chernobyl.
