ton o' bricks

No, really, I haven't abandoned this blog. Well, maybe just a little.

Thingas, as some of you know, have been a little kooky around here as of late. I've been working more and more - though I keep telling myself I'm working 'smarter not harder' - I'm not quite sure this true. Actually that persistent, overwhelming feeling that I'm getting smashed by a ton o' bricks is probably a good indication that I'm not. And all this stress for Breaking Britney News. Seriously folks - even I can't believe this shit sometimes.

But enough about me, I'm really excited that the True Love Coffeehouse is open again. It's nice to have it back and I look forward to some good music, good coffee and good people.

I'm also excited about good friends - I've had many the occasion lately to stop and think about this past year and I'm grateful for so many of you. Thanks.

And, finall, a heads-up, I'm reading this weekend at the "Frank Andrick is a Name-Dropping Whore" benefit at HQ.

Here is all the info you'll need:

An evening of provocative and scandalous work A Benefit to help poet frank andrick cover his medical costs Featuring: frank andrick, Gene Bloom, Josh Fernandez, Bill Gainer, James Lee Jobe, Rachel Leibrock, Ann Menebroker, Geoffrey Neill, Barbara Noble, Bill Pieper, Rachel Savage, Teryl & Eric (and invariably last minute surprises) An audio-visual overlay by J. Greenberg

frank andrick, the Lockeford-San Francisco-Sacramento poet who has given so much of himself to the Sacramento literary scene, has suffered from a series of health setbacks that have led to hospital stays and mounting medical expenses. His friends have assembled this event in an effort to help him financially. We ask those attending give what they can at the door ($2-20). Additionally, items will be available for sale and auctioned with all the money generated going to frank.

This event is sponsored by Poets & Writers with a grant they've received through the James Irvine Foundation. And the Poems-For-All mini-chaps and reading series.
