If you like it please recommend it.

I just got back from a day of music that started at 9 and now it's 7. Met Mick Jones AND got into the ACL taping for REM. Woo-hoo. What a day.

I OWN The Internet!

Got two new posts up today. One here at LaunchPad Coworking and another one here at The Austinist. If you like the latter, please click recommend. And please know that every time you click on either one of these posts, an underprivileged child in a white upper middle class neighborhood gets a new pony.

Oh, and thanks to my boss/friend (my fross? my briend?) Julie Gomoll for the bad ass graphics at the LaunchPad Post. How I wet my pants when I saw that.

Another Typical Day In Austin

Today Diane and I were out running errands and we came upon this guy-- his name is Chorizo-- leashed to a post outside of a Mailboxes, Etc. He can do one trick. His human holds up a piece of pig kibble and says, "Spin, Chorizo!" and Chorizo-- I swear I saw this with my own eyes-- will spin around.

Beat Love Baby: Pictures

So a couple of weeks ago I had a great time doing a Beat Love Poetry reading at the Scoot Inn with Jesse Sublett and a wonderful DJ who's name escapes me and my darling Southpaw Jones. This is to celebrate the imminent arrival of the original scroll manuscript of On The Road which arrives at the Ransom Center on March 7th. You should go see it. Meanwhile, here are some pictures from the evening-- go to This Link and then click on gallery. Be sure to get a load of picture #25, my favorite.

Dicking It Up in Dallas and More

Hey Everyone,
Greetings. Am hitting the ground running after another lovely Luddite weekend. The Dick Monologues is heading to Dallas this weekend for a couple of shows in the Out of the Loop Festival. We are psyched. Our shows are Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Please please please tell all your Dallas friends to come and see us.

In Austin we're doing a benefit for the Victory Grill on March 21st-- that's a Friday evening. And we're doing a matinee at the Hyde Park Theatre on Sunday, March 30th, at 2 p.m. For the two Austin shows we'll be introducing new DickWits-- Buffy Cram and Chandra Washington who both have dick-a-licious pieces to perform for you.

Spike
