is anyone taking a little folded poem in their pocket for the fabled floor spot?
I'll bring something. to read.
Do not know what yet.
Any requests or advice?
Fish please read R.P.M.
You know how I feel about that one.

Getting together ahead of time (no pun intended) is a good idea. The venue is quite nice, but it is smallish, especially on the ground floor where the bar is, unless there is a part of it I haven't seen.
Don't forget John Webber (barenib). He's one of the readers.
i would like to see some documentary footage of the event... photos, cam films, amok poets with unwanted tattoos beating on my door...
... sorry we only have unwanted poets with amok tattoos ...
Can someone give me the proper address of the poetry cafe website please?
Ralph
I think it's poetrycafe.com Ralph.
i'll buy TWO!
ralph,

that takes you to the front page.
trouble is i cant find the link that describes saturday nights. it was there in january, honest!
Yeah well I got that all wrong didn't I? The moral is, don't take any notice of a guy that thinks he's a river! You're better off with a guy that thinks he's a bird! Hey, isn't that a transexual?
is considering transexuality.
it would be like marriage but you serve yourself and don't have to take the grief.

Yes, I'll be there - sorry I don't often contribute to the threads (it's just a time thing, honest) so I hope to make up for it a bit on the night. Looking forward to meeting you all....
if you wanna take the mike check out the rules on the website.
there is a registration thingy at whatever time.
they squeeze you in between the jazz sets.
can't give url due to spring cleaned pc. type 'poetrycafe' into search engine and all will unfold.
pictures of miniscule bar included.
I've just checked their site. They offer poetry surgeries!
Poet: Good evening Mr Hox, what seems to be the problem?
Me: I've been feeling derivative all week, poet. I haven't thought of anything original since Monday.
Poet: Any kipling when you pass water?
Me: No.
Poet: It's probably nothing, but at your age we can't take chances. Make an appointment at reception for a full metaphysical, and I'll see you again
when fire turns to rain
and darkness enfolds
my dreams.
Next.
