New Interview Up

The interview with Heather Derr-Smith is up. This book was a really treat to read, and Heather was a wonderful person to talk about poetry about. Please take a look at it, and enjoy Barn Owl Review 2 along with the crossword which I hope people are enjoying. Here's a picture since I always post pictures:

Snowman Like I Never Seen Before

At AWP the had a Snow Sculpting contest across from the Hilton. They were really cool to see. These pictures don't do them justice. But tell me what you think of them. I really like the last one.

Dark Was The Night

The National, one of my favorite bands, has produced Dark Was the Night an album featuring great music from over 30 different artist. The album profits will benefit Red Hot which was founded on the premise that even without a cure, AIDS remains a preventable disease - using music as a great vehicle to raise both money and awareness for it. Please if you are a fan of The National, good music, believe in causes, or want to help people go BUY this CD, don't download it for free. I don't think you will regret it.

The City That Sleeps for a Little Bit

Here is AWP and my trip to Chicago in no certain order. I took a lot of pictures, meet a lot of really great people, drank a lot of really great beer, sold a lot of Barn Owl Reviews, went to some really great panels, saw the best reading of my life, bought a lot of really great books, told people about the crossword in the new issue about a 1000 times, hung out with some of my best friends that I don't see very often, slept maybe 8 hours over the course of 4 days, and LOVED EVER MINUTE of the trip. AWP 09 was great fun.
