Can't make it to this because I'm going to the previous reading but it definitely is tempting, except I'll see Amy King later in the month at Upstairs at Erika's

Dear Sexy Ass Poets-

Don\'t forget that this Friday, Amy King, Gary Parrish, Buck Downs and Todd Colby are reading poems at the Bowery Poetry Club from 5 to 6:15, come and start the weekend right with a few drinks and new poetry.

I work like three feet away from Pete's Candy Store. I think it's safe to say there's at least a 67% chance I'mma pop my head in.

Please do. It would be awesome to see you & I know it will be a really good reading.

While we're at it see if you can give yourself an 80% chance of popping in on April 3rd when I read there:)
