Brooke and I went out to the Sumner & Dene Gallery for the inaugural night of a new poetry series in town, hosted by Adam Rubenstein & Jessica Dalzell. It was a great time, and, the feature poet, Stephanie Roth, was very good, to boot. One of the better poets I’ve heard around town here also paid me a compliment after the reading was over (I had participated in an open mic right before the feature) regarding my poetry and I remember feeling stunned, pleasantly, a little bit. It felt so good. Even though, of course, I know I need to write (and read!) more.
Afterwards there was some Sam Adams Seasonal Beer and chip french fries at the neighboring Blackbird’s Buvette. Oh, and there was a cool bluegrass band playing last night.
Talk about a well-rounded evening! Whew!
Uh…Update please!?!?!?!
Now, when I say, “Can we not have all these epic poems”, I’m not talking about blog updates.
