So, I’ll be featuring at the Bowery Poetry Club a week from Thursday.
I’m really looking forward to this — originally, it was to be the start of an entire weekend in NYC, but now I have to be back here in MA for an appointment the next day. Which sucks a bit, but I’ll take any NYC I can get.
Figuring on getting into the city by 4:30 or so, with any luck; hope to be bringing my high school buddy Skip with me for the show; and still desperately figuring out what I want to do with my 20 odd minutes on stage.
I’m looking at a short mix of old and new stuff, balanced toward the new, with a de-emphasis on the more overtly political work (although if Lynne Procope is there, I suppose I’ll pull out “Political Art” for her…she requests it every time I see her, and I’ve not done it the last few times).
And I expect that the NY crowd will be there, yes?
More later.

Re: Hmmm…
Acentos is, indeed, hopping…no worries though, we plan on being around for a while.
The NY crowd will most definitely be in attendance.
It’s just a shame you can’t stick around for a while so that we could all recreate the Unofficial/Official High Convention of Moderately Sober, Semi-Drunken, and Outright Sloshed Poets Seated In The Hallway.
For the uninitiated, this grand discussion took place in the sixth floor (I think) foyer of the Downtown Chicago Holiday Inn during Nationals this year. I don’t think anyone recorded the minutes, but we should have. Quite an experience.
Rich.

Of course not!
Let’s figure out details and do it.

Hey, is it too late to take you up on that ride down?

Re: Hmmm…
No worries.
Oscar had asked me if I was interested in coming down early and seeing Acentos, but I can’t swing it — too bad because I really, REALLY am interested in it. Sounds like it’s hopping.

Hmmm…
Acentos is next Tuesday and I try to avoid more than one poetry event/week these days but, if Salome’s homeworkload allows, I’ll swing by. Let me know what you’re doing beforehand, if you have time for a cup of coffee or something.
