XYZ* Bookclub Launch, Fullers Bookshop (Hobart), 30th Oct

the questions one asks at launches when one has arrived late and missed the speeches

Who is this Robert Forster?
How does this book club thing work?
Where's the wine?
Weren't we supposed to pay to get in?

How do you know my sister?
What's the flyer you've been working on?
Is Hobart fringe festival all schmicko like Melbourne fringe festival?
Is it theatre-based like the Melbs one?
Can you blow that in the other direction, thanks?
So why do you think Hobart doesn't have an independent theatre scene?

What is the purpose of your programming-language experimental art poetry?
What makes it poetry rather than multimedia?
Is it about the process, or are you trying to makes something for an audience?
Is it a game you play with yourself, or a game you play with your audience?
So what's the purpose of your programming-language experimental art poetry?

What's your name again?
What does begat mean?

Doesn't everyone in Hobart know each other, anyway?
So what do you consider to be an excessive number of FB friends?
Are you going to join the book club?

Is that the last of the wine?
Did someone say "dumplings"?
Are they still serving booze?
How do we get there?
