Head's up on a road trip choice

Nov 08, 2007 08:26

I don't know how many of you Columbus folks are signed up for the road trip to the Green Mill that Dave proposed a couple of weeks ago or if it's still on, but an alternate plan if it is off is this ( Read more... )

So far no one has really committed to the GM on the 18th.
The GM will be there every Sunday and another trip could be planned but Sherman Alexie only comes through town once in a while.

btw, he did make one other reference to his poety, "When a cow can beat me in a poetry slam I will stop eating beef."

Ah, yes. Oh, and that kids who are deathly ill and survive become poets.

I was planning on the Green Mill trip. Plus it's my sisters bday weekend and she wants to get out of town, so we were discussing driving up Saturday and partying that night and then meeting up with the Columbus contingent at the Mill on Sunday. Let's talk more tonight.

By all means, let's figure out a plan!

What were you doing out there?

Just seeing Alexie.
Did you know he was coming? Or would it not have mattered?

Re: You were in Kent? irishcoyote November 9 2007, 03:03:41 UTC

Didn't know he was coming. Wouldn't have been able to make it anyway- I won't be back to visit Kent till the last weekend of this month, when Euphrates and I are going up for the Over The Rhine show.

I didn't think anything much was happening in Kent these days, aside from KSU's Wick Program stuff and Major's readings at the Gallery.

Well, it's certainly the only thing I've heard happening in Kent lately, but I'm not up on much.

Oh Man. Sherman came to Bloomington in April and read ALL POETRY. It was amazing. And it was new material too.

Re: Sherman scottwoods November 8 2007, 19:44:22 UTC

I am SO jealous! I'm telling you, the guy read NOTHING here.

I asked him when some new poetry was coming out and he said this coming fall. Woohoo!
