The launch of the Full Moon Paranormal Reading series last night was a lot of fun. Many thanks to co-organizers Marlena Fitzpatrick and Charlie Vazquez!

There were readings of retold folk legends by Fitzpatrick and Vazquez, and I read a couple of passages from Werecat: The Rearing. The Open Mic portion of the event featured narrated paranormal experiences. Some people talked about ghostly encounters. Others shared psychic episodes. There was a poet Gabriel Amor who read some of his work which dealt with love and sex as spiritual experiences. The friendly, intimate atmosphere created lots of discussion among participants.

My video from the event didn’t work out so well, but I have some photos. The last two are courtesy of Marlena Fitzpatrick. You can see some of the lovely back patio at La Casa Azul Bookstore in East Harlem.
