Hey Guys


First off, sorry about the lack of tags.

I hope call backs were great for you, Mark, and I hope you, Gedney, enjoyed watching all those egos rubbing up against each other in lovely and exciting ways.

As for the reading list, I think Stephen Mitchell's translations of the Duino Elegies (Rilke) is one of my two. I will try and figure out where this can be found.

What do you guys think about the KIND of reading. Because everything that's poetry I can just post here. It might make more sense for the books to have a more philosophical bent, or about theater? I guess it's just up to each and every one of us, oh my, responsibility. I will think of something.


Events,

1) Dec 5th, around 5 pm, I am singing Indian music at an undisclosed location (soon to be disclosed). Come if you like.

2) Dec 14th, the night before I leave, party in my room.

3) Let's meet soon, although I have the week from hell ahead of me. I don't want the blog to replace the sexy two of you on my bed.

Gedney, can you send me the info about the paperwork for GLSP?


Okay, love love


And such.
