There was a good show last night at Tongue: Open Mouth and Music Show at the Sentient Bean. There were several poets besides myself, notably "Wheelz" (Robert E. Cohen) and Beau Frail. Unfortunately, I had to leave early in Socio's music set, which I regretted missing. Brendan Townend and Duncan Sligh did their usual manic and entertaining job of almost keeping things on course. Maybe I'll see you all there March 4 now that the cancellation curse is lifted.
Poetry Co-Op Open Mic at the Water Witch Tiki Bar was great last night. Thirteen poets read, including a couple for their first time at an open mic.
Poets in alphabetical order: Amy, Anthony, Beau, Carri, Claribel, Darriea, Eli, Kristin, Lila, Lucy, Marc, Naomi and Trinity.
We played a poetry game called "Did You Ever" - those three words are the prompt and the first words. Everyone got 3x5 cards and a pen, added their own short lines, and I read all the poems at the end - a community memory and reflection.
Thanks to Darriea for taking the picture again.
LISTENING TO THE SURVIVORS - Just completed reviewing the proof copy and getting it back to the printers. It looks great! Expecting delivery within the week.
MORE INFO TO COME!
Two open mics coming up this week.
On Tuesday I'll be at Tongue: Open Mouth and Music Show at 6:30 at the Sentient Bean. I plan to read two poems honoring Charles Bukowski and Socrates.
