In good hands

Was just last night chattin it up with another touring poet about how great the organizer is here and how much we always look forward to doing Albuquerque.



Headed directly to Arizona afterwards to do two shows with one of the loves of my life:

Sure wish I was better about posting pics of every rad venue and remembering to thank them all every day from the road. In Grand Rapids tonight with incredible vibe in the place. Massive thanks to Maryville, Cincinnati and Ann Arbor already. Chicago tomorrow night with Growing Concerns Poets [a hugely welcome surprise].

Was it even in this lifetime we knew each other, OKC?

Come, remind me who we are together.

Can Oliver and Stanley come out?

There’s a 2018 Laurel and Hardy Convention in Cincinnati and I can’t imagine I know a single person going, so I just invited the hosts to this show and can hardly wait for them to say yes. Few things brought me joy and made me laugh as comprehensively as Laurel and Hardy when I was a child mining for sweetness. I’m excited to see you, Cincinnati.

Think it’s been three years. Maybe four. Not for long, Chicago.

Soon we say what we have to say to each other’s faces. Mine is I love you.
