Here's a bio I wrote todaythekluteMarch 4 2010, 19:05:02 UTC
Like you, I don't like self-aggrandizement, but this is what I wrote for the Phoenix ComicCon thing I'm doing (I like your first one best):
"The Klute (born & registered as Bernard J. Schober) is one of Arizona's most recgonizable voices in the slam poetry game. He has performed in every slam venue in the Copper State since 2000, and has been a member of 6 teams representing the cities of Mesa ('02, '03, '05, '06) and Phoenix ('08, '09) at the National Poetry Slam - making semi-finals twice, once in '05 and once in '09. A Brick Cave Media artist, his poetry chapbook "My American Journey" was one of the first poetry chapbooks available on Amazon.com's Kindle. He is also the co-founder and host of "The Poe Show", the only annual celebration of Edgar Allan Poe's birth west of the Mississippi (now in it's 9th year).
He has toured internationally in '07 and '08, performing his own brand of iconoclastic poetry as part of his "One Foot in the Grave" tour, featured at such legendary poetry venues as the Bowery Poetry Cafe in New York City and the Cafe Deux Soleils in Vancouver, Canada.
He's been introduced from the dais with Republican Congressman and performed for the president of the American Communist Party, and once read a poem in front of the White House to an audience of Capitol Police and Secret Service Agents. Former Arizona Blogger Jerome du Bois once said of The Klute: "[He] has one of the blackest hearts I've ever had the misfortune to glimpse".
He is available for funerals and children's parties."
