Kind of snarky, but ultimately quite positive!

All Kinds of New Stuff…Lots of Interviews and Links

Rev Jen — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 01:42:37 +0000

Unfortunately my addiction to facebook has greatly curbed my blogging here on my own web site or even providing links to some of the interviews I’ve done lately. But alas, I’m going to try to remedy that right now.

Firstly, here’s a link to an interview I did with the Huffington Post. You can also see me doing a reading in LA on the video link they provide though I’m looking more puffy and tired than Jim Morrison toward the end. Anyway, here it is:

At Bowery Poetry Club (308 Bowery)

Join “it elf”, author and art star, Reverend Jen, as she hosts her long-running open mike, the Anti-Slam! Pros and amateurs alike share the stage, and both are given equal respect and a place to try out new things. All performers are welcome – poets, storytellers, novelists, comedians, musicians, dancers, performance artists and people who simply need therapy but can’t afford it. Plus, everyone gets a ten no matter what!

“The Bowery Poetry Club feels like the last vestige of the old East Village. Reverend Jen’s open mike is always wonderfully insane; it’s kind of like being in Bellevue without being locked up.” — Jonathan Ames, author of THE ALCHOLIC

”Reverend Jen is a beacon of hope—that the unconventional can thrive, even among trendy new restaurants where they can’t afford to eat.” —Village Voice

Freewheelin’

Rev Jen — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 01:20:06 +0000

A friend sent me a copy of A Freewheelin’ Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties by Suze Rotolo. Given my love for NYC, they thought I’d dig it, which I am. It’s less about her relationship with Bob Dylan (she’s the girl on the cover of Freewheelin w/ Bob Dylan) and more about all of the unconventional characters that hung out in the Village in the ’60s.

In one part, Suze writes

There were so many talented people who practiced their art form and sharpened their skills during the period of the Greenwich Village rennaisance of the sixties. To become a legend or a star wasn’t always the point.

Very cool. I think sometimes the obsession with fame hampers artists and kills originality. Anyway, glad I have this book, as I am stuck at work in midtown. It will be a miracle on 34th Street if I ever leave.

Back to Work

Rev Jen — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:34:22 +0000

Forgot to mention that the goals of this blog are to let readers know where I’ll be performing and also to promote my book, which comes out April 25th. The book party is May 2nd at Bowery Poetry Club. I still need boylesque dancers for it and possibly a band or two.

Now I have to go back to work at the therapist’s office where I spend every Tues., Wed., Thurs. I signed a confidentiality agreement when I was hired hence I won’t bore you with the details of what goes on there.

Sad that I will have to miss a great moment in history because of work. Wondering how my crazy friends who went down to DC are faring. A small, masochistic part of me wishes I could be there, but due to my tiny bladder and the lack of public restrooms in DC, it’s probably for the best. This was a big problem during anti-war demonstrations. I hate war, but I also hate feeling like I need to wear depends in order to protest it.
