Ken Arkind and I have discussed touring TX, AZ, NM and Colorado. We could easily add UT and stuff east of there depending on time.
But for those states, if you know of any, please send me as much info on venues, slams, open mics, and organizers you can. This would be around the first half of March.

Hey, the new Urbana CD is called “Excellence in the Field of Awesomeness”
It’s like everybody is climbing Mount Awesome!
Would love to see you ABQ! Could probably get you hooked up with Silver City as well. Ken has my number, call me up cause I can’t get a hold of the guy (Colin) we had planned to feature in March. So, you guys could do Poetry&Beer on wed and MAS on fri. Give me a holla.

If it’s a handbook, wouldn’t it be “finding midnight?”
Love the title! How much longer until it’s published? By the way, Midnight came on at Coffee Society the other day. It made me smile.
Not sure if you are still on Oahu, but if so, just breathe deep of the tropical pacific air for me, please. I miss it all something bad.
Looking forward to seeing you in a about a month.
Yay! For a collection!
Corpus Christi — Saturdays (I think the only Sat slam in Texas), so far irregularly but it will change in the new year.
I’ve been living on that mountain for sometime now. Them hipsters are gentrifying my neighborhood.
Mr. Bodwell, it has been too long. ABQ is certainly on our radar.
Re: *wonders*
Good point, C. I imagine it more like “I, like you, am in search…” or “We’re in this together.”
Please don’t think too hard. It’s the name of one of my poems. We’re getting overly titular.
Not sure of the release date.
Which midnight did you hear? Monotwin?
I am and have done as you requested. Actually, I’ll probably see you within a week. I am leaving for IWPS from Worcester.
Yay! For you!
Can’t imagine not coming to see you, my friend.
No, it was your poem. At midnight in Boise, etc. At least I think it was? I only caught the last 20 – 30 seconds of the track. It’s strange, though, cause I couldn’t find that recording anywhere in my iTunes. Anyway, I hope Hawaii was fun. See you soon!
March would be 4th and 6th. The other possibility is April 1st and 3rd. Giving you options baby. Holla.
