The season is off to a great start so far, with new faces arriving and more music than previously performed. I can’t help but give a large thanks to Mike Smith, Mark Inman, Trident Cafe, Rob Geisen and Olatundji for all their help.
NEXT WEEKS FEATURE: ROB GEISEN, you may know him as the co-founder of the BURNT TOAST poetry readings as well as the editor of Illiterate Magazine, a great poet notorious for his stabs at heartbreak and passion for zombies. He’s releasing a book this Friday, “Avenge Me”, as part of the Get In The Car, Helen series at Albums Bistro on The Hill at eight o’clock p.m. Ten Dollars gets you a book, an audio CD of his poetry as well as the viewing of live music and intangible things such as joy, fun, and in-explanatory laughter.
Below, you can see what he looks like holding an onion.
IN OTHER NEWS: B.O.R.B. (band of rogue bandits) will now be available at the readings, it is a new semi-monthly zine put out by local poet Max Taylor. It features poems, tips of eco-friendly living (such as bicycles instead of all the oil your cars consume), recommended poetry readings and events in the area and has lovely sewn sides and is well crafted with love. Right now, its growing- thus free, and may soon be 25 cents. I highly recommend picking one up and flipping through it. There’s nothing quite like a dose of boulder from a true Boulderite who isn’t completely lost in the world of italian bicycle racing hot yoga mountain climbing health-o-centric living, but instead, a lover of local art and the community creation and appreciation of its possibilities and exposure.
