Out and About
Geez, Louise. Will you look at the time? When did that happen?
Things are crazy, and not lightening up anytime soon. Saturday is Worcester Pride, and Lea and I will be downtown to hang out for some of it, see friends, and hopefully catch some of Pandora Boxx. Sunday is stART on the Street, which will be similar, except there will be likely fewer drag queens, and I'm reading poetry at 11:40 in the morning. Good news? There's an actual Spoken Word Tent this year, so the poets won't just be crazy people shouting on the street corner. We'll be crazy people in a tent!
Monday, I'm reading poetry to James Dempsey's class at WPI, which should be fun. Very much looking forward, as I've not been in a strictly classroom situation for awhile, and I've always enjoyed the chance to actually talk about writing with students. Wednesday Lea and I are reading at Cracksull's Books in Newmarket, New Hampshire. Busy, busy, busy ...
Also, we're seeing Laurie Anderson in the very near future. Oh, and Amanda Palmer & Neil Gaiman. In Los Angeles. On Halloween! How's that for a Holiday Celebration?

I've not been posting every thing that goes up on either Radius or my Pop Culture Notebook or What You're Listening To column here, which at the very least has made my blog a bit less cluttered. Still, here's a few of the most interesting bits:
Radius
*Where We Stand: Poetry, Legacy, Sorrow," where I talk a bit about the passing of poets Hugh Fox and Scott Wannberg. We also had a number of great tributes to Scott, from Carlye Archibeque, Robert Wynne, A. RAZOR and Rafael Alvarado.
*"The Impossible Conversation: In Praise of Heartbreak," wherein I probably reveal a tad too much about what goes on inside my head.
What You're Listening To
*Revisiting PJ Harvey's "Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea"
*My terribly ill-advised "Playlist for Worcester," which came out better than it had any right to come out
Pop Culture Notebook
*Dancing with people who are vaguely familiar
*A few thoughts on Mindy and Amber's "Dark Blushing" show from the other side of the country
*A recap of the Roast of Cowboy Matt (who is much cooler than Charlie Sheen)
There's more, I'm sure. Much more. But that's enough for now. I gotta go help with dinner. Someday, I will have time to blog again for real, but on the other hand, that'll probably mean I'm less occupied, and I don't know if that's a good tradeoff.
