Yo Bunnies!
Back from 4 weeks in YURP (as Dubya calls it)--the book tour went well; met lots of Americans abroad--they're sweet and startlingly revved up about the election. Made me think I better get cracking (and off crack). Thanks to everybody who was so terrific to me and the Debbster! Gwenda the Good in South London! Meredith & Robin in Lautrec, Kevin (the non smoker) in Brussels is da bomb! John and Deming in Montpellier (a happenin hippie town), the great Jakob (who says he knows the elusive band Stimmhorn--the ultimate in cool, if true) and his hot sidekick, Ingrid, in Heidelberg (home of the magnificent Klaus Staeck!), Gwen and Vincent in Praha-ha. If you've never been to the Horse Hospital in London, check it out. (020) 7833 3644 Talk with James, Kate and Heather. So hip! Ravensbourne College rocks--if you're lucky enuff to be in Sian Cook's class.
We're going to Boston on Monday--yes, postering the trio of anti-Bush, anti-War uglies...please come say hello in Cambridge, July 27th, 9:30pm Zeitgeist Gallery and don't wear suede (hint, hint).We'll show Boom Boom's goofy "Guerrilla Etiquette" video and do some damage. Mear-one and The BigE (from post Gen) will be there too. When I get back to LA, we'll schedule a book talk at Warszawa (Polish restaurant--don't you wanna know what Polish food is? Like, does it really exist?) in Santa Monica, cook up our NYC action for August 31st at Bowery Poetry Club and Sept 4th in the SF Bay Area---then the big road trip toTucson, hangin with Calexico and friends--Sept 10-12. Also, if you're in DC, Chicago, Seattle, Austin or wherever, and want to hang some paper, just e mail me at the website and we'll hook you up. Maybe we'll even come along for the fun, if you'll let us.Boom Boom loves nothing better than a long road trip and she wants to kick Republican ass--er, I mean, she wants to meet you.
There's lots to do--together--before the election...let's get it on (where's Marvin Gaye when we need him, anyway? Well, we've got Ozomatli--have you heard their new cd, "Street Signs"? Wow!) August 7th we'll be opening a greatest hits poster show in Pasadena at Sandi Cruze's dazzling new Ellouise Salon: 626 793-0037 for details. Boom Boom's getting her hair dyed purple and orange(not) while we partay!
