“The hits just keep on rolling! I’m performing in Poetry Voltron, Tuesday, August 30th, at the Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA. This will be my turn on the big stage! I’ll be needing a few cocktails to get ready so come early because I’m on early and will need help getting those cocktails.”

Well, it’s that time again - time for another vicious bloodletting known as a spoken word performance. Whose blood will be spilled is yet to be determined. Could be yours, could be mine.
Regardless, it is my honor and pleasure to read at the fabulous Ducky Waddles Emporium, located at
414 N Coast Highway 101

“San Francisco was awesome!
My first reading in SF was at at Viracocha, hosted by The Word Party featuring a jazz band(sax, bass, percussion) backing the poets. The hostess made a comment during the intro about poets and sex poems. I was the 10th of maybe 30 poets and the place was packed. Great place [...]

“My last night of the reading excursion in San Francisco was at Om Shan Tea. They have an open mic with a feature on Thursday nights. Marc Kokinos is one of the hosts. He participated in all of the readings I attended while in SF. A friend from San Diego back in the day now [...]
“My first time as featured poet in San Francisco was great! My performance was good, not great, but good. Too excited to remain in control and read some too fast but I had a blast. Thank you Sacred Grounds crew and Dan Brady(host). Also thanks to Vince and Kelly Riley for being there and taking [...]
“Driving to San Francisco Tuesday morning for my first feature reading in SF at Sacred Grounds, Wednesday, January 26th at 7PM. Read there a few times last year on the open mic sign up and they were gracious even to ask if I wanted to feature. Will be at Om Shan Tea on Thursday, January [...]

“In San Francisco for a few days to attend a few events. The first of these was a reading by Chris Vannoy at The Beat Museum in North Beach. Saw a few poets that I liked and some that I didn’t but they were all good and unique within the group; it made for a [...]

“My San Francisco reading tour is going great. Tonight I read at Sacred Grounds, it’s noted as being the longest running open-mic in SF. The host and the audience, which was comprised of many long standing bay area poets, was very welcoming. Marc Kockinos, a former San Diego poet now in SF, told me about [...]
“Om Shan Tea! What an unexpected treat. I went with the idea that I would be one of several readers and it turned out that I got to feature. The place was full of tea drinkers but not many poets which worked out great for me. I never understood the attraction of the tea service [...]
“The first Pruitt Igoe performance of the year!”
I’m proud of this one (because it has been so much fun) and looking forward to performing as part of SDMA’s Joaquin Torres-Garcia’s wood abstractions (including his Aladdin toys) exhibit. I’ve written a series of poems as a teacher, father, and little boy in a grown man’s body. The poetry is in dialogue [...]
