Whirlwind post

OK, here’s the whirlwind version of the last couple of days:

— Gotpoetry Tuesday was quiet. Seven readers in the open, small but attentive audience. Faro couldn’t make it because of last minute band obligations — by the way, he and Capri got engaged (!) — so poetry and music night was a bit different than it is usually, but a fun night. If you weren’t there, you missed me singing and playing. Take heart that this was not a bad thing. You missing it, that is.

Next week, it’s theme/new poem night. Your theme is “I don’t know…” which should make for some interesting work, since poets usually know everything. 😉

— If everything falls into place today, I may have a BUNCH of new, locally based consulting work over the next few months. Today will be crazy getting things lined up (Lea, I got your message; no chance to record today but tomorrow may be good — will let you know later) but I’m keeping my fingers crossed; please help by crossing something of your own.

— It seems that I’m going to be visiting some parts of the US I don’t usually get to in August. Doing a bunch of one day workshops all over the country on each of the Mondays in August. Most of these are a fly-in Sunday/fly out Monday night lighting round, but I may try to drop into readings here and there if anything is going on.

Dates (and this is all the info I’ve got right now):
August 4: Scottsdale
August 11: Westchester County
August 18: Austin
August 25: Atlanta

As I said, these are likely drive by visits with little time for socializing, but I’m open to readings, maybe even features if I can swing them; no telling yet. More as I know more.

— Speaking of gigs: Duende (and hey, me solo if that’s more in line with your place) are still open to local gigs/short drives if you’ve got anything coming up. Anyone?

I’m outie; off to be a consultant for a bit. Back later.
