My friend Phillip Kerr and I find it amusing how I can be described as 'Scottish' while he's referred to as 'British' in the same festival brochure, as we grew up about three miles from each other in Edinburgh, and both left that city in our teens, to go to London.
In 2010, he performed on the same festival bill as Supersilent, a mysterious Norwegian trio who never rehearse but instead just improvise onstage.
The same occurs each April, which is National Poetry Month, at the Windham Area Poetry Festival, as well as several other festivals, readings and slams throughout the state.
Either way, just being at the same festival drew criticism.
This year, the same festival also showcased Salvo.
Last year, we had 254, so it's basically the same size festival as last year".
It's the same festival-head liners playing the same festivals, year in, year out.
#JLF Jeet Thayil and Ruchir Joshi repeated the same act of defiance at the festival as Mr. Kumar and Mr. Kunzru, reading from "The Satanic Verses".
It's remarkable that the same short festival includes both of these as well as Maria Hassabi's glamorous, posey, sly, but fatally limited "Show"; Mr. O'Connor's compelling "poem"; the impish diva Jack Ferver in his show "Mon Ma Mes"; and others.
Adapted from his own novel by Jonathan Trotter, who writes suburban soaps that are one part Franzen to five parts Hornby, it follows almost the same template as festival opener The Judge (without the homicide).
