The Cnidarian Way
YT, a jellyfish by trade, has been bobbing along in the ocean currents for three decades now, from Florida to the UK, Japan to New York. Today she enjoys the warm, wash of the Gulf Stream off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina.
Here YT reflects on living life the Cnidarian Way (adrift), compiles recipes for found object ceviche, muses on metamorphoses and notes all the bits and bobs that comprise a genuinely SLOW LIFE.

WRTSHP : PASSAGE
WRTSHP is back for our final meeting of 2012 on 12-12-12!
Come spend your last night on earth with us at Barsa while we talk and write our way through tapas and a bottle or two of wine (optional, of course).
Things that will be discussed on this momentous occassion:
1. Social rites
2. The doomsday clock
3. Physical vs. Experiential travel
4. Passages (duh)
As always expect lively discourse, writing calisthenics and mental boardgames. All you need to bring is a pen, a pad, and your brain.
I’ve missed your smiling faces. Hope to see you then!
-AudreyTime: Dec 12th, 2012 5:30-8:30pm
Place: Barsa in downtown Charleston at the intersection of King and Line streets
