Thanks to all the writers and their fans who turned out for Day One of the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival VII. If you missed the noon premiere, no worries; here’s a link so that you can watch and share the first video. You can even embed it in your website, if you wish.
Then tomorrow, Sunday, October 18th at 7 p.m. you can go to https://www.facebook.com/JaxbyJax to watch Day Two. If you LIKE the page ahead of time, you’ll get a notification about twenty minutes ahead of time that you can click on to join the fun.
Please note that Day Two repeats the opening sequences, including a few words about JaxbyJax from sponsor Ron Chamblin, so don’t think you’ve mistakenly opened the wrong video. After the first few moments, you’ll be able to check on your Scribbler, still up on that pedestal.
Click here to view JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival VII at noon on Saturday, October 17th (first half) and at 7 p.m. on Sunday, October 18th (second half).
Sign on a few minutes early; you don’t want to miss the opening sequence or not much else will make sense.
TO WATCH JAXBYJAX LITERARY ARTS FESTIVAL VII, you MUST have a Facebook profile and GO TO: facebook.com/JaxbyJax and LIKE the page.
YES, instead of having one
two-hour documentary video to be shown on Saturday and repeated on Sunday, we
filmed enough fabulous material for almost four hours of viewing pleasure.
Don’t despair if you miss one of the watch parties; we’ll post the videos
elsewhere later. But all the COOL KIDS will be at the watch parties; just
saying.
THEN ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, AT NOON, GO TO: facebook.com/JaxbyJax TO JOIN THE WATCH PARTY FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE DOCUMENTARY FILM.

COME BACK TO FACEBOOK ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, AT 7 P.M. and GO TO: facebook.com/JaxbyJax TO JOIN THE WATCH PARTY FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE DOCUMENTARY FILM. The second two hours (with a brief intermission) will HEAL YOUR HEART, featuring poetry and prose by Andres Rojas, Sarah Crooks, Thomas Ferriello, Sonja Mongar, Tricia Booker, Nikesha Williams, Sohrab Homi Fracis, singer/songwriter Jesse Montoya, and the fabulous STUDENT SHOWCASE. We’ll learn how to get involved with Women Writing for a Change from Jennifer Wolfe, talk with Ron Chamblin about the importance of bookstores, and walk with Tommy Shapard through his experience at Baptist Health with COVID-19.
