Austin & Ryan Eilbeck, Columbus Poet Laureate, turn 27. Here's Ryan reading at the OSU Urban Arts Space as part of the Paging Columbus reading series. And here is a synopsis of a stand-up routine Austin once gave at The Screamer House:

Austin approaches the performance area. In the performance area is a cup of water resting on a stool. Austin tells a "joke" then goes to drink water out of the cup. But the cup has been attached to the stool, so Austin has to pick up the whole thing to take his drink. The end.

Candygram 2 / First Poetry Reading

On April 8th Cenaclehouse Publishing held a release party for the second issue of Candygram at Skylab. My poem "Oh' O'Hare" was included in the issue. I read three other poems before the first band, Chine-collé, played. It was a noise band that seemed accessible. The guy who works at the Canzani center is in it. They are playing Skylab again on May 6th. Another band followed that sprinkled change on the ground and used the act of sawing wood sonically. My roommates Pat, Steve, Cassie and Richard were present. Richard told me a story about Kroger.

John Malta, Eric Sweazy, Faith Gehring, Caitlin Sherwood and many others also have items in this issue of Candygram. The editor of Candygram is Shannon Byers.

MP3 of me reading " All Girl Metal Band," "Besides The Biz Markie Interpolation," and "Fleetwood Mac Sample."

MP3 of half of Chine-collé's set.

MP3 of Richard telling me a story.
