<title>Michael Chabon in White House Slam</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="1628.jpg" src="/galleycat/files/original/1628.jpg" width="114" height="150" class="alignright" />One hundred readers from around the country were invited to attend the first White House Poetry Slam, a cultural event that includes poet <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Mayda-Del-Valle-profile.html">Mayda Del Valle</a></strong>, novelist <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Michael-Chabon-profile.html">Michael Chabon</a></strong> (pictured), playwright <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Lin-Manuel-Miranda-profile.html">Lin-Manuel Miranda</a></strong>, and a speech by President <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Barack-Obama-profile.html">Barack Obama</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Scheduled for this evening, the event will also feature actor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/James-Earl-Jones-profile.html">James Earl Jones</a></strong> and two jazz musicians. According to <a href="http://ktar.com/?nid=6&amp;sid=1154272">KTAR.com</a>, the First Family is fulfilling a promise to support the arts during Obama&#8217;s tenure.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://ktar.com/?nid=6&amp;sid=1154272">article quotes</a> Arizona lawmaker <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kyrsten-Sinema-profile.html">Kyrsten Sinema</a></strong> about her excitement for the event: &#8220;[Sinema] quotes the White House contact as saying, &#8216;We&#8217;re looking for people who are hip, young and cool. And, I said, &#8216;uh, huh, how did I get picked?&#8217; I didn&#8217;t sound very hip and cool on the phone. I sounded like a 12-year-old girl. I was like, &#8216;Oh, my gosh.&#8217;&#8221; (Photo <a href="http://www.harpercollins.com/authors/1628/Michael_Chabon/index.aspx">via</a>; link via <a href="http://isak.typepad.com/isak/2009/05/white-house-poetry-slamwhat.html">Isak</a>)</p>
