went to hear Jimmy Santiago Baca read today. Now, if he had actually READ instead of the 45 minutes of...God knows what...it might have been
worth giving up my lunch.

says
hey! That icon kinda looks like him!
DesertKiWi
says
you know how I feel about him, right?
DesertKiWi
says
his poetry is quite good but to be in his presence is 
lazyD
says
in his defense, he was there ON TIME, and SOBER, and even decently attired. But he read three pieces. At the very end.
totally 45 minutes of rambling, 3 minutes of actual poetry.
say yep. That's Jimmy B. Did he talk about his "degrees" and his screenplay?
lazyD
says
of course. And his penis.
solemnly vows that if I am ever a published author doing a reading, I will not discuss my penis with the auditorium.
would find that a deal breaker.
DesertKiWi
feels
sorry for Jimmy B and admires his writing, but, Lord, I don't want to be around him.
This whole string is hilarious! It would probably be even funnier if I knew who the hell the guy was! LMAO
DesertKiWi
says
after he visited SJC, I called it the Baca debacle for years.
would like one detail please.
above his public discussion of his pubis? 
SoLoPo
says
yes.
Fat Boy
has
no details; you'll have to wait for the KiWi
SoLoPo
says
k.
DesertKiWi
will
tell you the next time I see you in person.
SoLoPo
says
okay.
