the first performance...

of sideview mirror took place last night at the campus open mic/haiku slam. except i'm no longer calling it sideview mirror; its new working title is jalopy heart blues. click here for an mp3 of it. and click soon - it's just over 5 megs and i don't know if my leep site administrator will allow it to stay up for very long.

other than almost forgetting my chords at the beginning, and almost blowing a lyric a third of the way through, it went okay. let me know what you think.

here's my haiku i read, which did not win the twenty dollar grand prize. i was robbed.

i think this haiku
is the very best haiku
you will hear tonight

link o' the day:

the gospel of judas is public domain. national geographic doesn't want you to know this, and would rather you buy their printed copy for only $15.95. as a result, they have buried the actual text on their website pretty effectively. but if you click here, you'll go directly to the pdf. happy reading.
