Just a little time to cool down now after that. Geez, you know, I can’t, I can’t say how happy I am to, you know, be a part of something that involves not only a generous helping of spectacle but, you know, a whole lotta love, and just generally rejuvenating experience. I think what I’d like to do is, like I said, take a little break. Any of the open-mikers who’ve hung out and are still up for it are more than welcome to have their day in the rain in a moment or two. I can’t encourage people enough, as well, to come over to the corner at some point if you’re going hang out for a bit. We’ve got loads of books, both Sharon’s, bill’s, and some small press offerings of various natures. You know, when I first bill, I was doing my degree at Concordia. I went down to the stacks in what was at that time the Norris Library. Do you know there are 41 titles of bill’s in that library? Several of Sharon’s as well. But 41—you’re not going to find a lot of them in the bookstores anymore, but bill is part of a very, very vital scene, going back a good twenty odd years. [Sharon H. Nelson interacts (“Pushing thirty!”)] Pushing thirty! And they’re all still in the stacks, you know? You go down to what’s now the Webster Library, or over to the Redpath, or any other incredible institution of those varieties, you can check the stuff out because I tell you, a whole lot of innovation went into the years between then and now. Okay, so—enjoy, hang out. I should mention the coming weeks. Second in the series, Wired Words—spoken word documents prepared by Corey Frost, Colin Christie, and ga Press, that’s featuring Fortner Anderson and Neil Wiernik next week, same time, same place. I’d like to send a thought out to my future performer for the week after, Ian Stephens, is not very well and I think with all the love in the air here this evening maybe we can all share a thought with Ian. And yeah, hang out, please, as long as you’d like, and we’ll get right to a little impromptu reading in a moment. Thanks.

The stage, slightly below street level, is set against a full-wall window looking out onto the St. Laurent Blvd. traffic—with both pedestrians and vehicles often passing by. The windows from across the street are sometimes visible, including an outdoor sign with the word “JETHRO.”  On the windows of Bistro 4, the word “said” (from “Enough Said”) becomes visible when the camera zooms out, as well as decals with words from the menu, such as “DEJEUNER,” “CAPPUCCINO,” and “TISANE.”\n\nLee Gotham \n00:00:01\nThank you so much for coming out. Well, welcome to, I’m losing count, but the next and last, most recent, not last, most recent evening of Enough Said spoken word event series. Gee, you know, we’re in for a miracle, I’ve got a mouthful just introducing it all, maybe I’ll gloss it over a bit. We’re launching a cassette among other things, Broken Spoken features Neil Wiernik and Fortner Anderson, both of whom you’ll see up here before long. Before them, we have a couple of other treats, and I hope everyone is more or less comfortable, and if they’re not, that they take the initiative, wander up to the bar, pick what you’d like. Because of the crowds, of course, you won’t see a waiter with any regularity. And yeah so it’s a wonderful crowd, it’s nice to see everybody here, and let’s just kind of segue into the evening. There will be a brief pause, but don’t despair, everything will happen before very long. | Video Description: Camera varies between loose closeups and medium shots as Gotham speaks into the mic.

There’s too many people.” No microphone, so volume is low. Partway through, Ciona and Monique alternate who is delivering the piece. Laughter throughout.

Monique enters and sits on a chair on the stage while Ciona wanders through the audience, passing out white bowls and filling them from the pitcher. Ciona wears a black long-sleeved shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, black gloves, grey denim jeans, a black belt with a large silver buckle, silver and black glasses, and short blonde hair. Monique wears a white t-shirt with thin black stripes, black pants, and medium brown hair with bangs. Ciona stops at the stage to clean Monique’s hand with a white washcloth and trim their nails while delivering the piece. Closeup as Ciona begins biting Monique’s nails, periodically spitting out the pieces. Monique takes over delivering the piece. Ciona puts down Monique’s hand and resumes delivering the piece. The two performers go back and forth delivering the piece, with Ciona chewing Monique’s nails and sucking or licking Monique’s fingers when they are not speaking.

All three performers repeat “too much vomiting.” Stanton and Duncan repeat “mucous and puke” quietly as Tinguely resumes reading the journal article. Applause.] | Video Description: Closeup as Stanton speaks into the mic zooms out to medium shot as Tinguely reads from a white paper. Duncan, on Tinguely’s right, and Stanton, on Tinguely’s left, alternate delivering a dialogue piece with no microphone.

Tinguely gradually steps back from the mic. Stanton holds up a white sign that reads, “TOO MUCH VOMITING.” Tinguely resumes reading from the paper as Stanton and Duncan recede into the background.\n\nLee Gotham \n00:13:10\n[Cuts to Gotham mid-speech] wider applications of what we’re saying of spoken work performance, but some of its roots as well, I think I can safely say. So as first the widest applications of (poetry?) then the root, it feels I could take the opportunity to expound upon what I think happens here. Enough Said implies that the words that we’ve all been taking in perhaps aren’t enough, that they require some delivery, some engaging accompaniment or just the expression involved, so they’re accompanied with images. Now, that image is perhaps evocative at best, but like words, not the ideal vehicle or a good true representation. An image can represent a human being, inaccurately at best, and well, like a government can represent a people, inaccurately at best. Representations have been a problem it seems, so why can’t we just present ourselves more often? I suppose that there perhaps aren’t enough born anarchists and we’re too fond of our image, anyways, the representation. We aren’t looking at ourselves, we like looking at representations of ourselves. This is great, and a great problem simultaneously, I think. So it’s really nice when here, I find a whole lot of wonderful words accompanied by often just as many thought-provoking and engaging images, and yet there’s still space, although it may be hard to grasp the concept with the number of us all here in one room, but space between those images and those words nonetheless, and in that space I think there’s room for that presentation, there’s a community of sorts and that’s what I’m finding most magical about Enough Said.
