Oakland, California
Dropped by the Snap Judgement studios yesterday--I'm in the neighborhood lately. And if you happen to be in the neighborhood tomorrow night, drop by Tourettes Without Regrets, the Bay Area's most, um, uninhibited variety show.

Road trip Day Four--Lynchburg, Tennessee
The cavernous barrelhouses at the Jack Daniel's Distillery have special lighting systems so the air doesn't explode. This barrelhouse is one of eighty; they pretty much all smell like a nail salon in a cornfield.

Next time you see head Bleacher Creature Bald Vinnie at the new Yankee Stadium, tell him I said thanks for the tour of the old one.

Road trip Day One--Hoboken, New Jersey
This intersection marks the old boundary of Elysian Fields Park, where the first organized game of baseball is said to have been played in 1846. Nowadays there's a base marker on every corner, a plaque between "first" and "second" and even a giant baseball painted on the street, which you can see if you climb the fire escape of Maxwell's Restaurant on the southeast corner.

| San Francisco, California The Mission District has flowerpots all over its sidewalks, even the steep ones. My walks are longer, even the steep ones. |

Los Angeles, California
Just before doors open for the Drums Inside Your Chest show at Largo. The screen is for me (thanks, guys) and the standing mic is for a badass lineup of poets, including Mayda Del Valle, Corrina Bain, Jack McCarthy and my all-time favorite live poet: Matt Cook. The rest of the gear is for musician Emily Wells, who didn't perform her cover of Biggie's "Juicy" but did perform this.

Hey, look at that: back at the school that kicked me out. I was there for a shoot. I flew from New York to pretend that Westwood was Yankee Stadium.

Manhattan, NYC
Behind the clock face at the Clock Tower Building on Broadway, downtown. The clock is showing about 18 minutes before 9 but the real time is an hour later. Daylight Savings happened a few days early here because New York City's clockmaster only makes his rounds on Wednesdays.

What's more fucked-up: a pumpkin-guts zombie or...snow before Halloween? Either way, it's happening to the heaviest pumpkin in the world at the New York Botanical Garden.

From the in-box
I'm sure you get this constantly but I wanted to show you my newest tattoo inspired by your piece, "Kite". Part of me feels a little foolish showing it to you but what the hey! --J
Wow, looks like we have a new title holder in the Hardcore Kite Poem Tattoo Division (Gal Category anyway--I can't decide whether this J may have topped the J from last February. Mouseover the image to compare for yourself.).
I'll go ahead and take credit for the tape-and-paper kite on J's left forearm. But the words on J's right forearm, which are also from my poem, were originally by il miglior fabbro: this guy.
