"Mighty" Mike McGee's Electronic Place of Himself.
Typings of a well-traveled, talky, funny, hobo-poet.
Last night’s show at Mount Union College in Alliance, Ohio was fun. It was neat to meet people who had already acquainted themselves with me on Facebook. A delightful crew of people joined me for an hour-long set.
In the morning, the sudden snowfall had me wondering if I’d miss my flight, but the crew at the Canton/Akron Airport are obviously well prepared for cold, snowy weather and we took off without a hitch.
After a very brief layover in Denver, I landed in Spokane about 10am. I was met by Nick, Renae and Tiffany, who drove in from Pullman and brought me back.
Very few schools utilize poets in the way that really promotes spoken word/poetry on campus. The Student Entertainment Board, on the other hand, had me perform a teaser in the student Lair, which sits in the center of the student union building and is unavoidable along the main thoroughfair. Then I ran a small workshop on writing and performance. I came back to my motel, showered, and I’m about to head back to the school to host a student slam and to perform a full set. A long, full day here in Pullman.
Tomorrow, I head to Spokane to hang with the Empyrean Cafe crew and to put on a small set later in the evening.
Woot! Yay!
