City of Legends

Thank you to everyone who took part in yesterday’s Guerrilla Poetry Day…do not think I am ungrateful.  I am personally disappointed in my failure to hit all of my marks, but next time…next time.

I will be posting by midweek, some news regarding the new book, loveaddict.  I think you will find it interesting.

blister, the new CD, is going well.  We’re actually a bit ahead of schedule on that, but we’ve been down for a few days since the cats got hold of my headphones and ate them.  I have witnesses.  This is their idea of revenge for all the time I’ve been playing Joan Osborne’s "Let’s Just Get Naked" at full volume.

Have word from a few friends overseas (and a few hardy souls who stayed up late enough last night to make it into this morning) of their exploits for Guerrilla Poetry Day.  Bravo and Brava, all around.

I headed out this morning, having made some last minute changes to my itinerary and splitting it into two "waves".

Read "couplet/passion" to the order-taker at the McDonalds in Sterling, Virginia.  I think she was confused.

Did "goblins in my attic" and "My Electric Lady" in front of the American Psychological Association building in Washington, DC.  A street person yelled at me, something about Jesus.

Then, made a ride up to Embassy Row to do "Queen Protea" in front of the South African Embassy.

Later today, more madness.  Madness?  This is Poetry!

Still pulling together the itinerary for Guerrilla Poetry Day, this Sunday…have added a puckish moment.  Won’t tell where I will pop up to read, but the poem is "Goblins in My Attic".

If you can figure out where in Washington, DC, I might read that…you have a chance to catch me on the move.  By the way, I plan to be carrying a backpack full of books.  If you catch me at a read and are the first to mention this blog entry, you get the pile…over $100.00 worth of my books.

I am working on so many things this weekend…I can tell you that I am nearing the final poetry breakdown for loveaddict.

By the way, was very gratified by some site visitors earlier today.  Very gratified.
