The boys flew in yesterday and gran drove; so by 1am
local (central) time, we were all here in Madison... at a bar... in
Wisconsin... with a few hundred poets from around the country who
have convened on their lovely little city here... to talk.
Sometimes we talk about ourselves, sometimes other
people/stuff... but always talk- which is great and what we are all
here to celebrate, so rock, rock on!
Tonight, the boys have off, so they'll be able to scope
the competition, dig on our old friends, and relax/strategize for
tomorrow's bout.
Their bouts are Wednesday 8pm at Bartell Drury against
Spartanburg, Tucson, and Austin South Flavas; and Thursday 10 pm at
Lower Lounge against New Paltz, Minneapolis, and Silver City.
In the mean time, a brief list of my band names:
-Chris August and The
Whiskey-Sours
-gran's balls and Twain's
(now awake) hand
-Sleeping Kyle, a condom,
and a camera
-gran and Bill McMillan,
in skirt and kilt, respectively, stereo t-bagging Nick Fox
Ryan, by the way, was able to take the opportunity to
visit some relatives in the area, as well as make the acquaintance
of a local police officer and (separately) a well-placed bet at a
local casino.
Gran managed a bout and hosted another and had a good
time all around.
August went to support Berkeley because XMan is a
loverman... we're still waiting to hear the good words from Wilson
and Twain.
Somewhere, Joanna Hoffman is lurking.
Thank you and good night. |
