It's Tuesday! and that means that I have only two nights left in LA before I get home for a slightly longer than brief stint.

more importantly, that means it's less than a week until louderMONDAYS celebrates our 6th ANNIVERSARY at Bar 13! Be there: 35 E. 13th St., Union Square, NYC -- 7 p.m., $7 for an amazing night of poetry and performance and dialogue and, as always, two-for-one drinks. and ME! I'll be there!

it's all coming together beautifully: the briefest of open mics, the semi-finals draw, live chats on how Poetry Moves People, Rives' feature, and a multi-voice showcase/louderJAM. it's going to be great!
