Frankie and I went down to Redondo Beach last night to check out the (suitably named) Redondo Poets Poetry Reading. It was a lot of fun. The host, Larry Colker, was very funny and did a wonderful job of getting the audience involved (with half of the seats facing away from the stage, this was probably not an easy task). All the poets were very entertaining, with the features, in particular, doing a great job (Claudia Sherman and Eitan Kadosh). I had an excellent mocha (unfortunately, a rare occurrence). But the highlight of the night (for me anyway) was, for some odd reason, the Coffee Cartel being full of some very pretty and really tall college basketball players. I don't know why they were there, or if they will ever be back, but I do plan on going there often. Just in case. ... But I digress. Do check out the Redondo Poets. They were all very nice people and seemed to go out of their way to promote new poets (a great reason to support them).
