Sacred Grounds

“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 the reading. I got there early and read third. Awesome!

After the reading Marc took me to a birthday party for a popular San Francisco poet at the legendary bar Specs. Met some of the heavy hitters from the San Francisco poetry world and had an interesting conversation about where we take the poetry. Also loved the lighting in the men’s room. The pics show the ceiling which is illuminated by the light from the floor above. You can see people walking overhead. Trippy.”
