chapbooks never let your lips go naked

Chapbook Saturday tomorrow and I'm running down to Stirrup Pants to get my monthly haul. My pal Aimee Leavitt's RFT write-up on the store here. I wish Maggie G. could let us know what will be there, for planning purposes, but I suppose that might keep me from buying every book I touched. They are so nice to touch.

Tonight (Friday, August 7th) on Cherokee, from 7-11 p.m., Cranky Yellow, the host of popular shows "Crap Glued to Crap" and the Kitten Circus, features "Meth and Hot Dogs" for your viewing pleasure.

Also, Monday, the 17th is the August Hungry Young Poets--the last one of the summer. This season has been phenomenal so far, and there's no doubt August will kick ass, too. We've got Travis Mossotti, Lauren Keefer, Heath Luster, Julie Goldberg, Laura Dempsey and Annah Browning. Plus, our musical guest star, Prune! I like to think their name is a verb and not a noun, but they're pretty moving, either way. Duff's, 7:30, $3.00.

...and now back to pondering the concept of absence in 21st Century America.
