Planet of the Angst - Denton, TX

Oh, those good old angsty teenage years. Raging hormones, life-or-death love, and so. much. poetry. Thank goodness we're not there anymore. But, for one night only, Spiderweb Salon is leading an expedition to that once familiar place: the Planet of the Angst. Come join wordsmiths and music makers on the cozy patio of Wine Squared as they read and perform the angstiest of the work they made as teenagers. Let's celebrate our departure from the terrors of that planet while we acknowledge our debt to the art that got us through! Showcase curated by Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam.
