I was going to surprise you! But yeah, I think I'll make it to E's.

I'm going to goth beer pong tonight at Walnut Street Tap. That is a combo I cannot afford to pass up: cheap-beer drinking games, goth grrls, and lots of ugh-chk-ugh-chk-ugh-chk music. If only it were Mennonite goth beer pong industrial dance night. If only....

awesome. i'm sorry your trip through ohio was so weird....that's why i left.
congrats on winning the slam too. I love both these poems: The Worst Poet I Ever Recorded and Cicada Blues

Thanks! Oh, I liked the weird. Honestly, of all things, the 28-toed cat sent me over the edge. It put its ... paw-thing on me! All of them!

skittish411 April 26 2006, 20:52:53 UTC

a friend of mine here has one of those double-pawed-cat-things....it's kind of....fascinating. she's from boston. she says they are really common in that area. who knew.

beatnik_a_go_go April 26 2006, 21:01:23 UTC

Oh, I'd seen them before. Just not.so.many! That cat looked really forlorn about it, too.

first off... turducken cracks me the fuck up. (i tried to find the home-made turducken photos, but alas... they are hiding.)

secondly, you have grand solidarity on that mennonite thing, m'dear.

Yeah, the whole concept of meat inside meat (inside meat, &tc., ad nauseam infinitum) is simultaneously Escher-esque performance art and completely American.

The bonnets ... yes! The chaste skirts ... yes! The cell phones?! We kept imagining a barnyard drug deal gone bad, so ROSA BTH and Co. were leadfooting it from Pennsylvania to southern Illinois to crack some skulls. "Faith, Jimmy, wast thine crank cut with baby laxitive or what?"
