Lawrence Ferlinghetti
A personal hero. The first time I saw him read, like 96?, I ran over a squirrel on the way home from the 40 mile ride. I thought it was a puppy and was wrecked by it. The night had been great before that. This reading was much better because it didn't suck afterward. I went back the next day to try to find the owner and apologize and was so relieved when it was a squirrel. Ferlinghetti had more energy the first time. I presume Boulder's thin air and the Naropa whirlwind tuckered him out. I've always loved his poetry and he's an idol as a publisher and a bookseller. The first time I saw him there were a bunch of us in the front row. The second time, I was in the middle but knew practically everyone in the room.

This was at the smelly theater that went under and became a Circuit City that went under. Strip mall suburbia depends on traffic patterns. Certain locations are cursed. Now it lies empty. The movie? Gag. I heard so much hype and I still think Eli Roth is hype. "Thanksgiving" is his strongest work. The peurile gender roles overwhelmed what could've been a strong film. Comedy doesn't play well for me. Eli Roth got David Lynch's coffee for an extended period and was supposedly very good at it. Lynch drinks a lot of coffee. Hostel was better, but still forced.

I have no real recollection other than that it was The Davinci Code only in convenient dumber form. I remember liking the female lead and the snarky sidekick for a few minutes. That "oh-kay, who wants to go down the creepy tunnel first?" line was the best part. It was not good. I've never read more than the first three pages of the Davinci Code. There are three awful sentences in a row. I used to perform them to other booksellers.
