Wow.
So I had a feature at Words In The Alley, the other night...
Let me back up a bit. Earlier this year, there was a touring poet who was not very good. He became a running joke for all of us who endured his set. Among his many offenses, he had an obnoxious banner that he set up beside him on the stage!
Mark has been threatening to make me my own banner, ever since. I kind of forgot about that, during the past few months, but when I approached the mic to perform my set, he surprised me by bringing out THIS:
It was embarrassing and amazing and it took me several minutes to stop laughing and begin reading. Half of the audience was cracking up because they were in on the jokehorse. The other half just looked bewildered...like "Who the hell does this egomaniac think he is????"
Btw- all of the stars are sparkly rhinestones! hahaha.
If you want to see this in person, come to Mama Javas coffeehouse on Friday night.
We are having the big One-Year Anniversary extravaganza for our Caffeine Corridor Poetry Series.
I will be reading the entire series of my "costume poems" (like Poem Yet To Be Written By Bill Campana, Cat Klotsche, Jack Evans, and more). This banner will also be on display!
Our open mic begins at 7pm

It was creepy to see that thing looming behind all of the poets who were trying to contribute to the open mic:
So I doubt you will want to miss what we will be doing on Friday!
