Happy Friendversary, Janet. Happy New Year!

We already have our 2018 Christmas photo taken care of.

So they bring me to the Guinness brewery (the 1st and only Guinness brewery in the states) and I think, great, I don’t even like Guinness. So I tried my luck with their golden series and thought THAT tasted bad. So John hands me his bourbon barrel aged stout, and I thought that was even better than the golden, so he switched with me. Bottom line, I can’t believe I’m drinking a Guinness stout by choice.
|
Good beer with family... a great way to wind down the trip

Thanks for a great lunch, Cynthia and Dave Johnson - John Yotko and I loved it!
|
Sampling a little Long Trail Barrel Aged Unearthed Stout which tastes pretty good. Janet is enjoying a Jacks Hard Cider... mmmm... she says, “Yummy Nummy!”
|
Janet is pleased she found a Reader while at O’hare, where we read Savage Love over lunch (and she’s hoping to get next week’s Reader when we return home New Years eve).
|
John and I are only stopping at ORD (O’hare was abbreviated that way because the airport used to be at the edge of Chicago where the orchard was, btw), so I only got this view of where I used to work.
|
Great to read my poem “Christmas Eve”, sing the WHAM! song “Last Christmas” with John on guitar, then performing my “Who What Where When Why” finale poem “Visiting Pristine Places on the Planet” at the Santa’s Leftovers open mic on Christmas day at the Buzz Mill! Thank you Stephanie for the chance to share with everyone one Christmas day...

So samosas were a way to get veggies in a Christmas Eve course, but mini martini glasses are a perfect vehicle for mint chutney.

Yay! After today’s win, the Bears beat every team in the AFC North division - I guess it’s somehow a Merry Christmas for us Chicagoans after all!

I have all of the Twin Peaks season 3 episodes stored, and I was planning to record them all onto DVDs so I could keep them, but it is insanely tempting to just pay the $45 for the most excellent cover image on the box set.

Merry Christmas, from a Vegetarian who loves the irony of me “slaughtering” a tree for Christmas (I’ve never used a cut down live tree for a Christmas tree). But seriously, have a wonderful Christmas, everyone!

After Janet read *every poem* in her “100 Haikus” book reading at the AIPF booth space today, she got on stage twice to read from her books “Rape, Sexism Life & Death” and “Part of my Pain” (plus a poem she wrote in an AIPF workshop 29 minutes before her reading). She got a lot of complements from everyone there.

After reading poetry at the AIPF both for the Awesmic City Expo at the Palmer convention center, Harriet the pig licked Janet’s hand ( so she had to wash her hands before eating the Vegan Chicago hot dog from the food truck.

Looking forward to stopping by BOTH DAYS (you heard me right, Saturday AND Sunday) to the AIPF booth for the Awesmic City EXPO 2017 at the Palmer Events Center (900 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, Texas 78704)! John and I will come to this 4th annual 2-day event - John played guitar last year while I read poems in my poetry feature “Ultimate Connectivity”, but 12/16 I’ll be packing... books in the 12:00-2:200 time slot on both days. If I get the chance I’ll potentially read from my books “(pheromemes) 2015-2017 show poems” and “Part of my Pain”. I might read my “September 11, 2001” poem (which was nominated through “Revealed” in 2014 for the Pushcart Prize) from my book “Say Nothing”, and I have a bunch of poems I could read from my book “Give Me the News”, and I could always read a ton of short (twitter-length) poems from my book “Twitterati”. If I have time (which I doubt), I’ll even read “Stripped” political poems from my book “Let me See You Stripped”, so you’ll know I’ll be prepared. Hope to see you there! (if you can’t make it to the event, we’ll try to film my readings to share with the YouTube world...)
