As some folks know, I’ve been taking time off from most slam things. (I’m even taking Sundays off now and then.) For the next couple weeks I’ll be hiding out in upstate Michigan and I hope to pay a visit to Terry Wooten’s Stone Circle reading near Traverse Bay. Terry has keeping the oral tradition (storytelling and poetry) alive for decades. I can’t wait to sit around the Stone Circle fire and listen.
This Sunday, while I’m gone, the Speak’Easy Ensemble will take complete command of the Green Mill show. Knowing them it will be anything goes fly by the seat of their pantaloons night, but a good anything goes.
Other news is that Chicago Slam Works, the new non-profit umbrella for all things slam in Chicago, is in full gear. Bold new adventures ahead.
Okay, I’m off to breakfast (isn’t that what bogs and twitters are for — telling strangers and friends when you’re eating breakfast) and then up to Michigan.
bye bye
