so, looks like this week is pretty much all poetry events and film screenings. two of my not totally favorite things, but they’re all cool and not FREE but cheap enough – so go on a date night with someone you like. also, thanks you 2 guys who complimented me and the blog at black hole sunday evening – compliments keep me going. hope your guys have good karma for those kind words and keep reading and talking to strangers  it’s the best way to make friends.
