GotPoetry Last Night…next week…and SUNDAY in NYC!!!!

Another good night at GPL last night, with an open that filled late but filled — seriously, what’s the deal, folks??? Eight o’clock it starts, list out at 7:30…place is only open till 10, fer Chrissakes 😉  — and a good feature by the folks of the Off Nine Crew/Collective/Aggregate/Conglomerate/Hive/Borg….

Next week — due to Blue State Coffee having been a hotbed of organizational work for Obama, we’ve decided to just open the doors for an extended open — no feature, just folks sharing poems and other good words about the democratic process or whatever.  Republicans welcome — and yes, I mean that.  I figure it’s gonna be a crazy night there anyway….

And don’t forget that on Sunday at 10 PM, I’ll be one of the folks reading at the Bowery Poetry Club for the November 3rd Club’s annual reading, to wit:  "Victor D. Infante hosts a night of poetry & politics to celebrate the "November 3rd Club" online literary journal of political writing. Readers include Patricia Smith, Alicia Ostriker, Marty McConnell, Tara Betts, Kirpal Gordon, Tony Brown, Skip Shea, Madeline Artenberg, Iris Schwartz, Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz, Michael Cirelli and Lea Deschenes. Seriously. That’s not a reading. That’s a god-damned revolution. "

(By the way…I might get there early if I were you… the BPC site’s listing a book release party at 6 PM that includes poetry and music by someone named Patti Smith and a guitarist, Lenny Kaye….)

Later, folks…
