gone to press digital mercury buffalo poetics children

highlights from the past week:
  • i can't stop singing sir mix-a-lot's classic. whatever happened to sir m-a-l? whatever happened to wondering whatever happened to people?
  • thursday: facilitated instant anthology workshop at MGCI's going to press fair in the morning; katherine details changes from last year's fair. then, mark and i drove to buffalo to read (with james hart III) at just buffalo reading series. greatly enjoyed making friends with matt chambers.
  • friday: avatar and cathedral women arrive at mercury.
  • saturday: exclamatory preparation for york u digital poetics lecture with katherine. then, test reading series with bill, darren, and jessica.
  • sunday: brainstormed pop songs with the word 'baby' for mel's shower. watched monster house with daniel for his 6th birthday.
  • tuesday: sent letter to karen hannah's temple u class, responding to their creative reading responses to wide slumber.
  • wednesday: co-lectured on digi-po @ york. rundown of projects mentioned / demo'd here. definite highlight to witness katherine's deft teaching skillz (phenomenal, truly) and to encounter so many of her former students (she was a minor celebrity on-campus today, which was so cool to see). finally figured out how to convert VOB file into MPEG4.
looking forward to:
  • tomorrow: mercury launches seven new books by lovely souls stephen cain, terry carroll, sharon harris, david lee, carol malyon, jay millar, mark miller, and mobashar qureshi. 7pm @ supermarket (268 augusta ave., backroom). be there or be... there.
  • this weekend: sound and movement workshop with susanna hood.
  • following wednesday: full-day creative writing workshops at victoria park secondary school.
  • next weekend: 1st day off since october 8. i'm becoming ursine; have already sussed out my hibernation den.
  • sunday, december 3: calcu-lator and the oral presentation perform at supermarket in toronto. that's right. they've been apart for over a year, but now they're back together (one night only) and opening for buck 65. w00t!
