F-bomb returns on Tuesday 9/19 to the Mercury Cafe at 7:30 pm (apologies if our previously listed time was confusing). Our host will be the inimitable long-time F-bomber Jamey Trotter! Our featured reader will be Brian Dickson. In honor of our featured reader, the theme of the show is:
-Mile high musings / escapades
-city street minutiae 
-humanity’s hive

…of course, writer/readers do not have to follow the theme, it’s just there for you in case you need that spark. Limited Open Mic slots (max of 4 minutes) open to all until filled! We are a welcoming group and embrace all, from the newbie to the jaded. No entry fee. Show starts at 7:30 and ends around 9:30 with an intermission.  

Jamey Trotter is an OG FBomber who writes on the sidelines of his daughters’ soccer practices (if he’s not grading papers or chasing the toddler who enjoys putting himself in harm’s way), and teaches writing and literature at a local college. As the annual Virgo host, he strives to produce a unique experience for a (hopefully) large audience, consisting of students new and former, of friends and family. Set those tacos aside—you can always have Taco Thursday, ya know?—and get your ass down to Fbomb!

Trotter on the Featured Reader: Brian Dickson is a poet of the streets of Denver. Literally. He roams concrete paths without clear direction, stopping to capture unique refuse imagery with the lens, the particular sound the bounce of a basketball makes on a specific court. Dickson’s poetry, prose, and photography provide the reader an opportunity to take in the Mile High City through a lens that connects humanity’s mundaneness and urban necessity to beauty usually only found within. 

He’s also just a nice fuckin’ guy, a fellow community college professor, keeping the torch of empowerment through creativity, through writing, aflame in the hearts & minds of students who wander down those same sidewalks and into his classroom.
