Minidigital Festival PIX PIX PIX


I was quite the schlub that day and really couldn't figure out how to get my
digital camera to take a picture at a shutter speed suitable for the simian
hand -- I've since knocked it into submission -- but you can almost make out
the faces in some of these pictures of the mini digi poetry event on
November 22rd at the Bowery Poetry Club.

I haven't had time to write anything like a report and most likely won't,
but if I get a chance to RealVideo some video I'll make a little page. In
the meantime the links are still up. Paul Chan seemed to be the surprise
crowd favorite, but (meiner Meinung nach) it was a pretty tight show all
round.

Thanks -- ! -- hear endeth my excessive spamming.

Cheers,
Brian
