1 year ago today we released Saturday Night Sage at a @blindowlsd listening party w/ @ohheycreature at @VinylJunkiesUSA for @recordstoreday. We still have some copies available (link below) but I wanted to thank a few folks for all they've done. https://www.blindowlsd.com/shop/saturday-night-sage-paperback-noah-c-lekas
2/ Thank you @hafsabadsha & @AnnaFabiano8 for editing, reading & helping to gut check the collection, @BlindOwlsd for publishing it, my wife Elizabeth for designing & laying out the book & to the mighty Alan Forbes for conceptualized and drawing the iconic cover image.
3/ Thank you to all the journalists & reviewers that wrote about Saturday Night Sage or premiered pieces. @BigTakeoverMag @leftbankmag @PKMBook @platenreview @IndieBookView @ThirdCoastRvw @biblioculus @PaulDBrazill @ListenSD @trampset @TravisCravey @AtkinsonCraig @sdut and..
4/ Thank you to the folks who conducted interviews and continue to want to discuss the work. @BrookeKnisley @authinviews @advancedlit @Karla_Peterson @CCIQPress and writers like @TravisCravey and @WindwalkerWrite who reviewed the collection from the inside out.
5/ One of the most fun aspects of Saturday Night Sage has been the video collaborations. They would absolutely not be possible without the initial interest of musicians like @MrsHenryrocks @TBCanadians @ohheycreature and the entire @blindowlsd roster.
6/ Thank you to @finallytired and @Aribruan of @_SilentComedy for directing Empty Your Pockets and Steamroll the Sky. https://vimeo.com/321413920
7/ Thank you to my wife Elizabeth for directing The Word and to @ChadLeeeee for your Birdman-inspired interpretation of the work. And to @ScarlettTrinity for being a spectacular get-a-way driver.
8/ Thank you to @redhawkfilms & @Maxielaurenbaum, @tommylondon and @MrsHenryrocks for your work on Out Of The Storm Drains. I can't separate the piece from the film at this point.
9/ A year after the release, I'm excited that we have a couple new films coming out soon, Midwestern w/ @thejoelsons and a couple collaborations with @TheBaldock for We have a Problem with Groundwater and a new piece called Listening to Bob Dylan and Waiting for the World to End.
10/ In the digital wilds of modern life a year is an eternity, but in a books life its hardly a day. I grateful to everyone who has engaged with and supported the work. If you haven't gotten a copy yet, @blindowlsd is fully operational and shipping. https://www.blindowlsd.com/shop/saturday-night-sage-paperback-noah-c-lekas
11/ If you are interested in a review copy, doing an interview, or premiering a poetry short film, hit me up. And please be sure to follow and/or hire all these tremendously talented folks listed above, Saturday Night Sage might still be a folder of Word docs if not for them.
