*********************************************

make no mistake people. this will be the jump off. i dont write too much about when the poets get together cuz it is always way too much fun and it feels kinda strange sharing all the cantakerousness through a report… so come on down yourselves and hang a bit. if you like a particualr poets work, this might be that great chance to tell em so (especially if ya spot em a drink– always works) it could also be a great chance to see these talented wonderful mofos in their natural enviroment just hangin back & cuttin loose.

see ya there!
