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.
