fashion...

looking at my remark a few posts down about how poet's generally lack fashion sense...realizing that's total bullshit (at least as it applies to the Pacific poets)...SF poets are some of the most fashion savy peeps around (i can't speak to NY/ CHI/ LA or Buffalo)...i like clothes, i know stephanie likes clothes, brandon more and more (god bless white male poet) likes clothes, Suzanne Stein is always fitted to the 9's, AND i've seen her do a handstand while giving a reading at BB's Zeal reading series, alli certainly looks like she likes clothes, i like LRSN when he wears basketball jerseys, nicoloff has awsome hair, taylor brady is perpetually in some shiny dress shirt as is Del Ray Cross, bill luoma usually sports some kind of interesting pair of shoes (or am i thinking of taylor again?), armand cappo most definitly likes clothes (my friend sara even asked Cappo for an interview for a doc she was making about fashion)...though not SF'ers, related, jessica and lorraine have been blogging/ comment boxing (KO'd!) about the theraputic benifits of shopping...i'm a self admitted shoe-whore/ jean-whore...so, i like the fashion sense of my west coast bretheren...go left coast fashionistas!

Stephanie asked me to make her a Bay Area hip hop mix for the Bay Poetics anthology release party...flattered...i have about 5 cd's worth of songs so far...unfortunatly most of my Bay hip hop is on vinyl (well, most of my music is on vinyl proper...but i think we'll make do)...wondering if lyrics like "MURDER MURDER MURDER MOTHERFUCKER!!!" are a bit harsh for an anthology reception...knowing Stephanie probably not...i'm trying to get a nice mixture of hood-hop and backpacker rap going...you know, Saafir next to Restiform Bodies...Spice 1 next to Quaanam...Hobo Junction next to Anticon...

the Embodied Poetics performance tonight was amazing, beyond words...but i'll try tomorrow...i'm still hovering on cloud 9...

the Magie's coming the Magie's coming (on friday morning!)...so excited to see her...

watched Coffee And Cigarettes this afternoon...worth renting for the Tom Waits Iggy Pop bit alone...i taped it...so so so good...Iggy is so cute, like a little boy...the RZA GZA Bill Murry bit was pretty good too..."Bill: i know you guys, you're up to no good"..."RZA: up to no good?!"..."Bill: yeah, you're from "The Wu-Tang Clan...you're GZA, the Genius, and you're RZA"..."RZA: other wise knows as?"..."Bill: otherwise knows as Bobby Digital!"...

i want to marry Iggy Pop..."Iggy: call me Jim, or call me Iggy, my friends call my jimmy, or Jim, or Iggy...call me Iggy..." Tom: okay Jim..."

...currently listening to Rush Chornicles...
