culling poems for the supper show

came across this one from the original Chronicles

January 28, 2003

A notice from the strata counsel.. " a shady looking man in a very large suit and reeking badly was terrorizing guests at an Art opening at the Artworks Gallery.. The man spoke in a low broken voice.. And called himself a distinguished journalist... after several loud outbursts from visitors the man disappeared over the back balcony.. This man was using a video camera and filming Nudes by Robert Title.. Anybody with any information on who this man is please contact..."

i wonder why?

It was recently reported that the Department of Homeland Security has expressed interest in a "safety bracelet" for air travelers that would include personal information and would not only track the wearer but also be capable of remotely delivering a taser-like shock.

show

I play Music at 10:00 PM at the Greedy Pig (307 west Cordova) in Vancouver on Friday July 11... which i guess is today... i should go to bed.

I mention this mostly in an effort to do something that i don't quite understand.

and example:

There is a bartender at the club where i play a weekly gig who keeps asking me to bring in some of my CD's because he loves the music... and i keep forgetting to bring them in. WHY? Simple friend, because i am a bad business man. Apparently you have to let people know about things and then corner them and ram your product down their throat.

so to lessen my guilt that i place upon myself for being a bad business man and self-promoter i'll nip a last minute plug in this here blogaroo for this show... although there is no real reason to come to the show as i play for free every week and this dog will cost you 5 bones.

Another bad business move for thee old Robertson.

words not video

so i have been getting involved with a few "Blog Debates" using the "comments" as a posting board of some blogs. The good part about hockey blogs is that there is always lots of lunatic posters full of wild speculation that is completely outrageous in it's entirety.

The one thing you don't want to do, let me tell you, is to go posting on a feminist blog with that kind of rapport. If you were to say, using one example, try to say conclusively that you are right and anybody who See's it another way is a fool who deserves their incompetence... well then there may be a backlash.

my whole concept of "Blog being raw thought" is not a good one on many levels. it's like the blog always finds it's way back into negative, no use, bitching.

Must work to correct that

but a baby is up and this session is over

i remember this one from the old childhood... who really needs TV anymore



And for some reason, the day after that one aired i ended up in front of my class re-enacting that one. i remember the "I have a list!" part, but i didn't full understand the comedy of that at the time. To me at the time it was just a way to get into the joke of somebody reading themselves as an endangered species, and not a clear barb at the distracting policies of political profiling.
