OK:
SPEAK last night was pretty darn ok. A larger than usual crowd, including (finally) more locals; among other irregulars, Meester Stegosaurus made a premiere appearance, as well as welcome returns by Kae Collins and the long-absent Paul Gagnon. Of course, Lea D and Gary H and Melissa G and Walt U and Dave M and Tom and Cathy and Heather and … eh, you get the picture.
When I got home there were e-mails from 3 other brandy new people saying they were sorry they couldn’t be there. One bit of press and see what happens? All locals too…finally heading for what I had envisioned. Now if I can get high school/college kids there too…
The “electricity” theme brought an interesting vibe to the night; we also got a bunch of “Burst” poems, left over from the canceled May 12 meeting.
Fun.

I’ll be off tomorrow, getting ready for the late afternoon wedding of my friends Dan and Mike.
God, I love saying that!

After that, got all sorts of weekend plans — hope to see Regie Gibson Saturday night, got cookouts on Monday to attend.
I am really, really hoping I feel well enough to do everything I’ve got planned. I suspect something will have to give, as this is the most I’ve had planned for a given weekend in quite a while…

Say happy birthday to myainsel! (I think I’ve gotta skip out on festivities tonight, unfortunately; stuff at work got weird this PM and think I am not up for a night out before tomorrow.)

OK, kids…if I don’t check in over the weekend, have a good one…I will be putting up a Zero Point Zero tonight, will try to post a link here when I do.
