East Coast Tour Dates!

WE'RE GOING ON TOUR ! Me and Steve Orth sans van or band + buses and poets. We'll be leaving for the East Coast next weekend, so if you're East Coast inclined, we'd love to see you and maybe you'd like to see us read poems?

I'll be bringing my book, "Overboard" which will be hott off Colter Jacobsen's Publication Studio presses this week. WHOA. So it's turning into a bit of book tour.

Steve and I will also be repping Summer BF and Steve's new magazine, Where Eagles Dare at the 2012 Chapbook Festival (details below), so come say hey, if you're doing that. We might give you some shwag.

Looking forward to seeing East Coast buddies, including you, I hope. Give us a shout if feel like getting a drink or talking some smack. Unlike the Rolling Stones, we probably won't be taking any smack, but we still like to think we're cool.

The Disinhibitor: My favorites of 2010

I wrote about some of my favorite things of 2010 on Michael Cross' The Disinhibitor blog.

I really wanted to add the name Steve Orth to the list and write an embarrassingly long explanation of why I loved that particular item so much in 2010, but I had to hold myself back. No one wants to know about how in love you are, at least not on a year-end favorites list. Still, everyone should know that Steve Orth, whether you're in love with him or not, and I wouldn't blame you if you were though I might feel a little weird about it, is really REALLY worth your time. He's writing all of these great poems and prose pieces too and you should know about it. So that is the most concise way I can manage of telling the internet that I love Steve Orth. He was my favorite thing about 2010. What the heck.

Happy 2011 Everyone! It's going to be a good one, don't you think? I'm excited.
