the greatest

Its an honor to be able to bring top notch poets from around the country, sometimes outside of it to our venue and watch them perform. Even though Wil and Nate work very hard to book and promote these events along the way being very kind to all guests, they are not the reason poets come back. I guest host at times or play funny music but no one comes back to hear me play Kermit the Frogs IT AINT EASY BEING GREEN for them. The port veritas movement carries with it a very appreciative audience that fully understands how tough it is to perform your poetry or prose or ramblings successfully. That being said they dont impress easy.

Andrea Gibson came and performed for us yesterday and if you werent there to see it, you'll have to be one of those people who don't know. Wil and I have discussed at great length her skills and talents and every poet I know has a copy of Pole Dancing for Gospel Hymns.

I've seen her perform before but each time there is a different shade of genius(thats right I said genius!!) She achieves at each dimension better then people who focus completely on one. She can string together metaphors in a way that makes me want to study them like ancient text and go from that to tossing out hilarious stories that bring you closer to her.

I don't even know what the heck to say to her at this point. What do you say to the greatest? I didn't say anything, I think I learn more that way.
