Interview With A SplashHall Poet - Champagne Shoes

We thought we'd try a little different approach to meeting a SplashHall Poet. The Interview approach. Perhaps a bit more upbeat. Please share your opinion.

CafeRg Interviews the lovely and talented Champagne Shoes.

~*~*~

Rg: So what brought you to SplashHall Poetry, Champagne?
c_s: Please call me "Shoes, just Shoes." I was a refugee and you gave me haven, Rg.

Rg: Haven? You mean the dungeon? And what keeps you here, besides the dungeon and chains, heheh ?
c_s: The good energy and diverse group of poets. WordFaery stated it well when she said there was no rancor at SplashHall. I think that's a result of your vision.... and the fact that you're always cleaning up after me. Maybe the fact the SplashHall is a Member-Managed Poetry Community.

Rg: Yea, ahem. What have been your best SplashHall moments so far?
c_s: Too many to itemize. Here are a just a few: riding Cy Street's transvestite Hurricane, being visited by DianaTrees, MikkiRat's joining us, our SplashHall Mystery Murder Play, being attacked by Witt's chickens, being bound and gagged in the dungeon, hearing WordFaery's hickory-maple voice. I could go on and on.

Rg: Yea, I see that. What about your Tatou contest? Did you have fun with that?
c_s: You know I did, Rg.

Rg: The winners were very generous by donating their prizes to SplashHall. What would you most like to see happen at SplashHall?
c_s: I thought you'd never ask, Rg. I wish Diana would return, and I'd also like a thread where we could post a poem with an audio file so we could hear one another speaking our poetry.

Rg: Thats what our radio BZoO Homegrown Radio and the Red Brick Cabaret is for, though we may have a voice widget coming just for the forums. So do you have French accent or a Canadian, eh?
c_s: Like no voice you've ever heard, Rg. I can promise you that much.

Rg: A promise, eh? I'll have to hold you to that. So are you gonna teach me to ballet?
c_s: My pleasure, Rg. Just step over to the barre.

Rg: The bar! Great! I could really use a Black Velvet on the rocks. It's been a long dry week.
c_s: No, Rg, not the "bar"; the "barre." That's where ballerinas practice their five positions and pliés.

Rg: 5 positions? I'll drink to that. Do I need to put on a wizards tutu?
c_s: Yes, Rg, of course.

Come meet Champagne Shoes at the Spalshhall Poetry Forums and say hi. You can also see Rg in his skin tight tutu.
