Had a gorgeous time on National Poetry Day. Not because I got to see the poet lauriete, I'm a bit of a fan, but she's not much of a reader; not because I saw John Hegley perform a couple of favourites and not because Dreadlock Alien gave us some high-octane spirited performance as usual.. but because performance poets love to stand at the back, drink and bitch about everything. Made some great new friends, and hopefully some useful contacts for some near-future poetry adventures.

Usual paranoia stops me web-casting some new poems. But am very keen to share some with the WOL populous. Perhaps a little later.

Meantime, hope you all have a glass half full this evening.

Peace out poetry brothers and sisters!
