if i was in the East Bay tonight...

a message from Chris Stroffolino


hey, tonight, at the wc creamery
(2519 san pablo ave--OAKLAND, CA---home of the Maverick-beating Warriors).
may 4th, there will be this event,
probably starting around 10PM--
you can wait until after your favorite TV shows like
THE ODD COUPLE & LOVE AMERICAN STYLE--


oh wait, i forgot it's not 1970
and the event is not the KENT STATE MASSACRE
and I really hope and pray that none of the DJS
or even a band called (NOT Crosby stills nash & Young & Natural
& gifted and black will perform "4 DEAD in SOHIO")
and drink ourselves into some retro fantasy of
BUBONIC teeth I mean PLAQUE
because, there will be ORIGINALS and yea, verily,
e'ev beautiful SINNERS and broken shakespeares
and the sort of dogs that can hear all kinds of sounds
that no hunan ears can ever hear
(however human hands and hearts may forge).....


There will be paintings, and maybe even deaf people.
There will be pantings, and artificial lights, and maybe even sleepwalkers
There will be pillows, and candles, and schmooze-booze.
If this DOESN't sound like you, please let me know---
Because I'm gonna try to be there in soul as well as body,
and EXHALE as much as we INHALE
that is to say "You can watch me watching you perform"
---if you want to join in on the SIDESHOW
that promises nothing, and therefore can't help but be ORIGINAL.
And then afterwards, we could severely thank each other
(to the point of tears), and know it's love to say
"you incomplete me"------so be HERE or be SPHERE
SEEYA LATER?
