I’m sending a very quick shout out to a spell of positivity by Alchemical, resident of myspace nation, who has re-posted stuff by myself, plus other great folks like Brainsturbator’s thirtyseven, from time to time. I know I’ve benefited from his unsolicited publicity.

Regular reader HCE lays down a pretty provocative question for we denizens of the conspiracy poetic districts of cyber-country in the comments to Ghost Dog and The Way of the Conspiracy Samurai .
I’ll quote the main part here:
I wanted to ask this question of everyone, and no one in particular. Why is it that most [...]

I’m in the audience of a little open mic thing on the Lower East side and amidst a few bits that simply don’t work, I hear these nuggets of wisdom from the mouth’s of the varying performers who take the stage for their eight minutes of communion time.
A woman named Mo?, who occasionally stumbles good-naturedly [...]
