I referred to this briefly last week, but I’m going to reiterate it now for the locals:

We’re really trying to bring the Gotpoetry Live reading to a new level, and it’s kind of do or die for us — John and Ryk and I are reaching a point of frustration with the event because we feel it’s stagnating, and are actively looking at the next few months to determine its future — as in, we may close it down. I think October and November’s results will tell all.

If you can find it in your schedules to be there sometime over the next few weeks we’d appreciate it. Even occasional appearances would be good. We miss the variety of voices and the joy of your presence. That’s not designed to be flattery; it’s the truth.

This week we’ve got poetry + music night, next week is Melissa Guillet, then comes Laura Moran and The Klute.

November sees a new format, with a feature only once a month — I’ll post it in the next day or two.

Please come, if not tonight, then when you can. Thanks.

if you’re interested in purchasing either the new Duende CD/chapbook “Americanized,” or the first CD/book “Jim’s Fall,” drop me a comment here with email address and I’ll send you info for the exchange of monies and good product. All replies screened, of course…

There are currently limited numbers of “Jim’s Fall” left — will be printing and burning more.

Both CD/Book sets are 12 bucks, which includes shipping. I can do Paypal as well as good old checks, cash, and money orders.

thanks.

Tonight at Gotpoetry Live we’ve got a special night — no feature, but a night where there will be musicians available to play with you on your poetry if you wish.

Faro’s coming in with bass, I’ll have guitar and amp, and if you’ve got your own stuff bring it.

Start time is 7:30 sharp. 2.00 cover.
