“Vocalese” Launch A Great Success!

Traffic was heavy, the anti-ConAss rally was brewing, and people were running late, but there was no stopping the success of the “Vocalese (Poems)” launch held on December 12, 2006 at Conspiracy Bar. By 8:30 pm, the venue was jam-packed with friends, fans, and poetry enthusiasts.

There was poetry reading, great musical performances, and overflowing love and support.

Readers included Easy Fagela, Khavn dela Cruz, and Paul Catiang.

Musician friends who performed were Outerhope, Vin Dancel, and Cynthia Alexander.

Marco Harder, guitarist for The Purplechickens, hosted the event.

Watch out for the upcoming book tour coming to your nearest bar or bookstore.

“Vocalese (Poems)” Launch on Dec. 12 at Conspiracy Bar

Aldus Santos will launch his first poetry book entitled, “Vocalese (Poems),” on December 12, 2006 at Conspiracy Bar & Garden Cafe located along Visayas Avenue in Quezon City. 

Enjoy a night of poetry reading and special performances by friends like Outerhope, Vin Dancel (of the now defunct Twisted Halo), and Cynthia Alexander.

Be one of the first few to get a copy of “Vocalese (Poems),” which will be sold at the venue for a discounted price.

Event is from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm only.

To get to Conspiracy, take Visayas Avenue from the Quezon Memorial Circle. Landmark is the Department of Agrarian Reform Building. Upon entering Visayas Avenue, you’ll pass by a McDonald’s to your left and, straight ahead, a Jollibee to your right. A Shell gas station will follow. Conspiracy Bar is right across. Make a U-turn on the corner of 7-Eleven.

Entrance to the launch is free. However, beyond 9pm, patrons who are just about to get in will have to pay the cover charge for the second event: the Bikolano Poets’ Kabanggihan (Part 2). Proceeds of the said event will go to the victims of Reming in Albay and other affected areas. The booth selling copies of “Vocalese (Poems),” will continue to hold shop beyond 9pm though, for your information.
