Frankie and I checked out Brain Candy once again. They have a ritual where the audience yells out suggestions for each poet to improvise a poem from (if they want to) when they first get on stage. Things like: "Worse than Detroit," "Elephants Eating Rotten Papayas," "Sqeaky Floor Boards," "Nike in North Africa," and, my favorite, "Chocolate Covered Donut People." We had a lot of fun. The poets: James, Jack Bowman, Terry McCarty, Bruce Arnold, Pearl Took, Cal Oakey, Frankie Drayus, Me, Larry Jaffe (feature), Sean, Francis, Gary Justice, Donna Evans, Thaine H. Allison, Jr., Stephanie, Richard, Raphael, Mia, Jennifer, Andy, Kevin Pollard, Angie Cardone, and Ed.
