Blair was fantastic tonight at Gotpoetry. PERIOD. Standing O from the crowd and he inspired a few people to come up and add their voices to the second half of the open.

Terrific poems in the open and an almost mystical level of connection. Everyone brought their best work. It really was an outstanding night.

If you’re in the neighborhood and you’re not coming to Gotpoetry regularly, you’re missing a great and growing reading.

Don’t make the mistake again…come next week for Bill MacMillan, the week after for Marlon Carey, the week after that for…well, come down and find out!

This is what a reading should feel like, at least to me.

I deleted my earlier post about the bin Laden videos.

I made a vow long ago never to get into arguments about 9/11 and al-Qaeda conspiracies. I’ve broken it twice today — here, and on Gotpoetry.

Because I’m an administrator there, I will not delete my posts. But I will not continue the argument there.

This is my personal blog. I choose to delete it here.

Sorry.
