YO GUERRILLA BUNNIES! OK, It's ON! We're doing Arnold--major LA postering: Saturday night, OCT 4th, 10pm Canter's Deli on Fairfax, between Beverly & Melrose. You're all invited. Come crank up on kosher coffee and matzo ball soup. Breathe deep--inhale, injest the zeitgeist--then exhale our angst on the streets of Lalaland. Arnold embodies everything gone wrong with the American Dream--he's my nightmare! Power mad Austrian body builder comes to America to conquer (and fuck a Kennedy, which is part of it, I guess). Anyway, I don't gotta tell you how pissed off, fucked up and photo-copied I am. Way ready, baby. We pulled a couple of all-nighters to get this one with the Terminator eyes (glowing red) ready---let's do one more night of damage! Boom Boom, my glittery Macedonian Gypsy assistant, is ready to kick some street ass. See you there.
love, peace and angst, robbie

Yo BUNS!
Just a Quickley reminder--Jerry Quickley, the freshest, most resounding slam poet we got, is doing a one-night-only performance at Overtones (yes, the Boom Boom room), 11306 Venice Blvd, at Sawtelle, 8:30pm TONIGHT!, Sept 17th. He'll have musicians and a DJ backing him as he drops poetry bombs from on high and shows projected still photos of his experiences in Baghdad--he's doing a documentary on his time there. It's going to be a one of a kind time for us--you gotta come see Jerry stand tall in front of the big Bob Marley painting and fire away at that wall of 25 portraits of "evil-doers" still in the gallery. We're also, as a special treat, going to unveil the brand new ARNOLD poster ! Gettin revved up for our OCT, 4th postering date at Canter's, baby! (more on that later). So, I'll be there tonight with ACHTUNG BABY! in tow, the bunnies'll be out and hopping. Please join us. Give Boom Boom a call: 310 915-0346 for more info.
peace and rhymed angst, robbie

Yo Buns!

It's greal gold leaf--glittery. It'll be in the house! But more importantly, the great JERRY QUICKLEY is droppin some slam poetry bombs at Boomie's joint (11306 Venice Blvd www.overtones.org) on Wednesday nite, Sept 17th, 8pm-- called "You should see the shit I saw in Baghdad" or something like that, subtitled, "Geroge Bush eat a pile of shit". Has a nice ring to it, either way. JERRY IS THE BEST SLAM POET I'VE EVER HEARD (he's also a mighty man). And he'll have special guests and music behind him! (guitar and percussion, not bongo drums and berets, baby)You gotta come ta dis! I'll be there, the bunnies'll be there, my drawings and Bob Marley will still be up--give Boomie a call: 310 915-0346 for details. It's a measly $5 at the door--the bling goes to help pay Jerry's production costs on his documentary about his time in Baghdad.
