The Capitola will be presenting another live show experience:
Date: Saturday, December 5, 2009
Time: 5:00-9:00pm
Location: Green Lantern Studios
261 High Street
Mineral Point, WI
53565
Phone: 608.987.4178
December 5th is Mineral Point’s candlelight Gallery Night, “an evening when Mineral Point sparkles with the light of hundreds of luminaries” and we are super excited to be a part of it.
We have a pretty big show planned, as there will be a variety of readers presenting their work along with Mark Miskelly and I doing a few sets of music in-between. Also on display at the Green Lantern Studios, will be work that is in the current issue of The Capitola and work that has been in past Capitola issues.
Richmond Powers put together a beautiful poster for the event which I included below. Feel free to contact me if you would like to have the Hi-Res version. I would be glad to send it your way.
Hope you can come and check it all out! We’d love to meet you and say hello.

I was inspired to make another one of these windows into my world sooner rather than later. This one concentrates on finishing one of the pieces I have been working on, an introduction to “Patrick” (and what he’s been busy with) and the importance of clean drinking water.

So I cooked up another little podcast from my lair. As some of you know, I have been sick for the past 2 weeks but Im feeling LOTS better thanks to modern medicine and its terrifying – I MEAN HELPFUL – steroids. I’m nervous about going off of them because it has proven dicey for me in the past. But I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. Or jump off it, depending on how the withdrawals hit me.
Like my other podcasts, this one is not exciting. I promise you that, but it does offer a peephole into my nerdy and incredibly exotic world of cutting up moldy paper and writing all over everything with different colored sharpie markers. I often like to use a different color for each tune Im trying to write lyrics for and I’m sure that isn’t special needs at all. But I do. I do this in my journal too. It makes the internal dialogue more interesting or palatable, I guess. A good while back I bought the 24 color sharpie marker set and have never looked back with an ounce of regret since. And these juicy tidbits are not included in the podcast by the way. I offer it here only. And over at Myspace. And Facebook.
Enjoy!
PS: I also talk about the circus freak piece I am doing in the “presentation”, and dug this pic up to offer a little more clarification of when I was first laying it out. After assembling all of my mutant circus freaks, I let them out of their plastic bag briefly to do a dry run of the auditions I have planned for them within this piece.

Had a blast on Sunday afternoon in Mineral Point performing and being a part of the Capitola gang again. We had a great turnout too, so, many thanks to all of those who crammed into the bookstore to see the show. The various writers and poets featured in the book were there to present their work accordingly and Foundry Books offered such a great vibe for it all. Great acoustics and loving hospitality was provided to all of us by the owners which we appreciated greatly.
And an even bigger thanks to those of you that came up to me, and up to Mark after the show to share your kind words about our performance. It really means a great deal to hear such great and enthusiastic things about what we’re doing. Very motivating and encouraging to say the least.
The day ended with a few of us over across the street at Cafe Four enjoying some amazing food, laughing a whole bunch and planning our next shows. Such a wonderful time was had and could not have ended on a better note. And Mineral Point is just a wonderful little town. Great vibe and very historical.
We have more shows being worked out for Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb so stay tuned for those dates. I’m looking forward to them with great anticipation of course.
Thought I would share a few photos from the day. I even included our set list….because….well, why not.
Enjoy!
The clever little sign Foundry Books put together for the event.
Our first poet, Judith Lary. I could listen to her for hours.
Richmond Powers reading a few pieces. His delivery is exquisite.
Mark and I singing few ditties.
Bruce Rowe reading some wonderful pieces.
The set list. There were a couple edits as you can see, although I hate crossing things out. It’s a major pet peeve of mine. Shhh, don’t tell Mark.
