Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

festival day of poetry
2005
me, Doreen, & Lrod
reading them loud & proud
in the garden
having us a good old time
grazing in the grass
soaking up the suds
takin' in the sights

That was a great day! We didn't have electricity to set up the keyboard but oh well... We had so much fun! I met Tom Swiss that day. Great poetry! Remember, we sat on the grass in a circle and took turns reading, sometimes standing up to read. Loved that wild woman dressed up like a combination of a French maid and Pippy Longstockings or something... LOL!!! Terrific fun that day... Great memories!

We should do it again. When is the Sowebo festival?

I sure miss Lrod. That was the most creative era of my life. I wrote BOOKS of poetry! We did the TV show a couple of times and the Cabaradio. So many good memories! Just the other day, I was watching the DVD of a show we were on together with Perry Lindstrom hosting. And some other clips of reading in his basement. Levi and Karen were there, too, reading in the basement. Fun times!

I remember I gave you a VHS tape of something... The Cabaradio show? Or what? I can't remember what it was. Do you still have it?

Hi Doreen.....sowebo is today, hence the memory...after my stroke everything is gone from my previous life I'm afraid.

Ohh... well you still had the memory! That's a good thing!

I'd love to get together some time.

...that would b real nice Doreen

I regret not traveling east to meet Lrod and the rest of the east coast LKers back when I had more time. Lrod was one of the main reasons I joined LK in '03- reading his poetry and "Poet's Eye" takes on the world... and with usernames like "LightningRod" (and WIREMAN) it was just too fascinating of a place to resist..

...it was a magical time and place mark
