Poetry Parade
Oct. 21st, 2013 11:55 pmI've been performing at a lot of poetry events lately. Last Thursday was a poetry open mic at the Parlor. Saturday I went to Greenfield to perform as part of their annual Word Fest. And Tuesday (tomorrow/tonight) I'm part of a Berkshire Feature Night in Pittsfield. So all the performance poetry has been pretty cool, even if it technically doesn't bring in any money and heating bill season is around the corner. Still, my work has been generally well-received, which is gratifying.

wellstar from whom I'm stealing this sentence's puns but she's getting credit so she can't wine), but last week my column was about The Wrath of Grapes.
And as long as I'm repeating links from Facebook (links from Facebook! links from Facebook! Okay, shut up.), lately I've been thinking a lot about public goods. If you would like to do some thinking with me, Ethan Z put up an excellent blogpost about public transporation in the US, and Neil Gaiman wrote a brilliant piece about the importance of libraries, and if you're wondering how my love for these public goods can coexist with my libertarian streak, I refer you to the last two minutes (start at 4:00) of this video interview with Penn Jillette.
the_star_fish is finally home from her week-long sojourn to Yarnopolis, so I am pretty excited about that. Even if today was inevitably the meeting of my "I've been alone for a week, hihihihihi" and her "I've been surrounded by people for a week, byebyebyebyebye". But maybe tomorrow there will be a boardgame before I head out for poetry.
