Playlet at the Ozone Park Journal

Louis Riel

Ryan Starinsky (Sidekicks, Slugging Percentage, What Gives, Amelia, Letters) and I wrote a playlet while on the Lose The Tude tour in Canada. It's entitled Louis Riel, Do You Know How I Feel? and it was just published by Ozone Park Journal. Ozone is a literary journal put out by the MFA Program in Creative Writing and Literary Translation at Queens College of the City University of New York. 

Lous Riel... is an elderly dog walker's extended, bewildered lament. It's free to all who wish to perform it.

Manners, Etc at Monster House September 22nd

On September 22nd I will be speaking poetically at the Monster House. Also performing: M A N N E R S, a one man band from Portland, Maine; Time and Temperature, Val Glenn playing entrancing top of the pops from Columbus, Ohio; What Gives, Ryan Starinsky, Josh Hoey and Austin E.'s basement pop band also from Columbus; and further poetry by Emma N. Young, a poet from New England. 

A rumor circulating about this show is that Ryan Starinsky and I may or may not debut a one-woman play entitled, Woman on Corner, Five Dogs. Off, off-Mad-Lab-like. 

Monster House shows are run on a donation basis, are all ages, and start at nine. The Monster House is located at 115 W.10th Ave. near The Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio.
