The Literate Ape

Location: Comfort Inn, Colorado Springs

So, a few things have happened since my last post. The poetry slam was fun. Taylor Mali was awesome as usual. He performed four or five poems, then the slam started. There were a few really good performances and a couple really bad ones (by annoying people I know from class), but the best guy, in my opinion, won, which was good. Then we slept, packed, and hit the road.

Three Panera bagels, seven hours of driving, two bathroom stops, and one Quizno's sandwich later and we were at the church for Tara's wedding rehearsal. It was rehearsal-rific, and there was spaghetti for dinner afterwards. Now we're hanging out at the motel (the younguns are swimming). Pretty soon Netty and I are going over to Tara and Dan's apartment, which is where we're sleeping tonight.

Since the wedding, etc. starts so early tomorrow, it'll all be over by 2, making a little detour to Flatirons a distinct possibility...

Well, I'm supposed to be working on a story this weekend, so I'll get back to it.
