The Perpetual Motion Roadshow is an indie press touring circuit, an
unholy combination of a vaudevillian variety show and a punk rock
tour. Each month, three new lively indie performers pile in a car and
do seven cities in eight days, doing shows with the bold guarantee:
NO BORING READINGS OR YOUR MONEY BACK! Transnational, it loops the
northeast May-October and makes runs down the west coast during
November-April. Founded by No Media Kings, we've been making our own
fun since 2003 -- running on pure volunteer power and dirty dirty
gasoline. More info at perpetualmotionroadshow.com

In January the San Francisco show will having touring writers:

Cort is a southern Alberta raised roots songwriter. From a jug hound in
the oilpatch to selling beads in Peru, Cort has roamed from
Tuktoyuktuk to

age
of 23; Songwriting! The balance between melody, poetry and up tempo
pieces
has him compared to such artists as Arlo Guthrie and Tracy Chapman.
This,
his nomadic tossed salad past, along with his charming stage presence
adds
to a combination in which you will rarley find in folk songwriters.

And local favorites:

LadyMonster- I write about my life and I write it as it happens, without
being afraid of letting others know the intimate details. Most of my
writing is about my sexuality and sexual experiences. I believe that
bedroom doors should be open. Understanding occurs when we throw off
the covers, turn on the lights and begin expressing and talking about
our desires, experiences and fears. Face the truth, and talk about
your fantasies. Don't be afraid to explore your imagination and new
paths. The power and experience of your sexuality is limitless.

awkward writing the shameless self-promotion required for a bio.
