I’ll actually be there in a couple of weeks

Take the quiz: “Which American City Are You?”

Cleveland
You are blue collar and Rock n Roll. You Work hard and party harder.

Rock on.

In other news: Some of you asked about the short order cooks’ slang that gave me the title of my most recently posted poem.

Here’s a link to some of the common phrases:

Specifically, “Adam and Eve on a raft, wreck ’em” means two scrambled eggs on toast.

    there’s a great kids’ book called Breakfast at the Liberty Diner, that makes great use of some of these – at one point the little boy in the book asks for some “wrecked cackles” before he even knows what they are. totally cute story about FDR.

    I haven’t been to the flats in ages. Might have to make it a mission, if there’s no reading/slam while I’m there.

    Robert Jr. Lockwood rocks. Love that twelve-string vibe…gotta get back into my twelve one of these days. It needs restringing, and I’ve been shirking the task.
