Someone typed the following sentence into Google:

“My husband grabbed his friend and was pretending to hump him in the ass.”

Naturally it brought them to Dogpoet. The most lustrous pearl of wisdom I can offer is: Hope you didn’t sign a pre-nup.

From my prolonged silence you might have assumed that I’m a tad wiped out after kick-starting the Barbershop Reading Series this past weekend. With a lot of help from some very good friends, our debut event went better than I could have even hoped. Capacity crowd, amazing performers, and a fabulously energetic audience. One of the reader/performers wrote me the next day and said that “the event really had a feeling of community about it – I think that word is often overused, but I think it’s the best way to describe the atmosphere in that room…”

I had hoped for that kind of atmosphere, but hard work can’t account for even half of it. The performers and the audience brought more than their fair share, and my only worry now is how high the bar has been set. Check out the Barbershop site which has a few pics from the event.
