The Studio @ 620 Recap and so much more
Last night, I did my performance and book launch in St. Pete at The Studio @ 620 and I had a fantastic time. First, Tod Caviness kicked two of his poems and a Matthew John Connolly cover, “The Tenuous Nature of Reality”. Then came my set, which consisted of:
1. Would You Like To Take A Survey?
4. The Kama Sutra of Glenn Beck
6. Check Yes
7. Stellar
8. Taking Civil Liberties
11. Contest
12. Pre-nuptual Agreement
13. These Are Vows
14. What Makes A Man A Man
16. Tailor Made
17. 25 Random Things…
18. A Letter From the Department of Health
The show was awesome from the venue to the organizers to the audience to my opener, Tod Caviness. Everything was amazing and I want to get back to St. Pete for more shows. Thanks to The Studio @ 620 and my publisher Jason Cook for putting all of this together. Below are some photos:
This is where I wonder if something/someone will smite me.
This is what part of The Studio @ 620 looks like.
This is Jason Cook, publisher of Ampersand Books and The Ampersand Review. He is awesome and can beat you up - or at least out drink you.
This is me coming on stage for my set.

Unleashing a poem from Dodging Traffic
Tod Caviness kicking back some brews at FUBAR with the rest of The Ampersand crew.
Also: Jason Jordan was nice enough to shout out Dodging Traffic; why haven’t you gotten your copy yet?
Finally, five of my poems are in PANK Magazine. Read them and then read the rest of the issue (this is the first one I copyedited/proofread). I guarantee you this issue is packed with awesomeness.
I request ‘Reciprocation’ in Atlanta. It will smite the air. I have a feeling. A vision that began in my mouth.
