Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241231 
I was right when I said in a post 6 years ago today that it’s insane that bars shut down in Austin EARLY on New Year’s Eve (the one day a year you’re supposed to be out celebrating until midnight) — and it’s a shame that cool vegetarian places (like the one in this post) have shut down too, leaving no options to celebrate other than going to a local brewery until they shut down at regular hours on a Tuesday night. (I already told the bartender — who tried to see if they would extend hours for the bar on New Year’s Eve — that I would bring a couple of $2 bills that she could wear on her earrings, because, you know you should splurge, it’s New Year’s Eve...)

John saw the 2nd abandoned car being swapped out yesterday, and asked the person replacing it with *another* car if they’re leaving *this* car there too. They responded that the just-removed 2nd car actually pulled up there broken down, and they’re trying to get it running again to fix for their wife (which doesn’t explain *this* car replacing it).So yes, this apparently is the place to leave abandoned cars for a while, right next to the front of my house. Because, complaints don’t matter when no one will do anything to protest homeowners, or even tow abandoned cars away. |

I know it isn’t Robin’s birthday until tomorrow, but when I saw this memory from 6 years ago today of my posting this YouTube video on 12/5/18 of Robin reading her poem “Haiku on the Edge” from “the 2019 Literary Review date book” during Community Poetry at Half Price Books, I couldn’t resist. Since I just released Scars Publications’ “the 2025 Poetry Review Datebook”, I thought Robin might appreciate this early birthday post...

I just discovered that 8 years ago today is when I uploaded this YouTube video of my singing & John on guitar performing her Mom’s Favorite Vase/MFV song “What We Need In Life” (3:58), performed at the Galapagos Islands 12/24/07. Now, John & I have performed this song in Warren’s honor at so many places over the years, but really, although the audience was small (and the borrowed guitar kept going out of tune during the song on a small boat), it was still such an honor to perform this song to people from South America, the U.S., Canada, & Austria sailing between the Galapagos Islands.

Now only one week away (and always on the first Sunday of every month), come and join us for the Zoom meeting at the “Poetic License 1/5/25 Global Open Mic” — the Austin, Texas ‘Recycled Reads’ G to PG-13-rated pre-pandemic open mic that is now GLOBAL through this Zoom meeting! If you don’t have the address, find it on the Facebook event page. David Leo Sirois, our Zoom meeting guest host this month (thank you!), will start the Zoom meeting as early as 3:00 PM CST, and I (host Janet Kuypers) will be there 10-15 minutes before the open mic starts). And SINCE this is global, let me list local times for the regulars... 3:30 PM CST Sunday is 9:30 PM Sunday in London, which is 11:30 PM in Greece, which is 5:30 AM SGT Monday in Singapore. We all wish our regular Zoom host John F. McMullen a speedy recovery and look forward to his return, but since he cannot host this month (hopefully he can at least attend!), come get your Poetic License & be a part of the “Poetic License 1/5/25 Global Open Mic” Zoom meeting on Sunday, 1/5/25 (20250105, or 5 Jan 2025), from 3:30-5:30 PM CST!https://www.facebook.com/events/602394475497257/ |

Janet Kuypers 20241229 
8 years ago today I shared this YouTube video of the Janet Kuypers poem “The Bridge To New Orleans”, which I read in front of Marie Laveau’s tomb in NOLA (in “Taking Poetry to the Streets”). I also photographed her tomb in 2008, but my photo of Marie Laveau’s tomb in the 1990s was the Scars Publications Angeline Craig book “R.I.P.” which is no longer available for print and can only be ordered from our own minimal supplies in stock. I share this now because we used to be able to visit the voodoo queen’s tomb, and others wrote crosses on it repeatedly (and it had to be restored a number of times between my visits). Because of that vandalism, St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is closed to the public — and the only way people can see her tomb now is with a licensed guided tour.

Maybe I’ll wear my “Last Christmas” pin today as an additional honor to this 8-years-ago post, covering George Michael’s music at (of all places) the Indy 500. I’ve already received compliments on that jeweled lapel pin this year, and I just saw from this year’s “Last Christmas” movie that the pin from the video 40 years ago was Andrew Ridgeley’s grandmother’s pin, which makes it that much cooler.

My phone reminded me that one year ago today I photographed these scenes in the middle of the first year of Star Trek Picard, because I absolutely loved Sutra’s gold ring. (I wasn’t keeping Paramount + so I wanted to have a record of this gorgeous piece of jewelry.) They didn’t auction this gorgeous piece of jewelry off after the series ended, and I’ve never seen a jeweler do anything like it. If anyone has any clue how I can find a ring like this (other than having it, custom-made), please let me know.

I thought I would add more vegan and vegetarian restaurants and venues to this poster I had made for my kitchen in an effort to have it ready for Christmas. I just finished it, but I still have no way to be able to hang it up — so this will remain in my office (where my kittens can’t attack it) until we can figure out how to place it on the wall.

Wow, I’m sharing this post from last year because with our two little kittens this year (and Titan watches Callisto, quite the climber, repeatedly climbing to the top of the tree and knocking off ornaments) there is NO WAY I’m putting tons of expensive glass ornaments on the tree this year. I have a select few old homemade silk ornaments that my sisters made for my mom and dad’s old blue and green metal retro Christmas tree when I was really young, some blue ornaments that I kept but haven’t put up in forever, and... of COURSE, John put up all of the gold ornaments he got from his mom and dad.

David J. Thompson, a man who has had poetry & art published in cc&d (& books published through Scars Publications) over the years, has sent me postcards - which I love, and are so entertaining that I’ve kept the now 3"-tall stack of his postcards over the years. I checked my mail today, Christmas eve (that I didn’t check yesterday), and lo and behold, there was a “happy holidays” postcard from him there, which *so* made my day. Thanks! #janetkuyperschristmas

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241222 
Back in the day, I decided to post 6-second-long videos on Vine and as “tweets” in my newly-created Twitter(/X) account titled “JKPoetryVine”. I was totally hyping this new channel 10 years ago today, but since then Vine closed down (and although they had the Vine posts/videos up for years afterward, that’s now closed down too), so I wasn’t doing anything with that separate Twitter account for years. But now that I just got a new phone, I decided to *only* use JKPoetryVine through Twitter/X on that phone, to share more “tweets” about video releases (even if the videos are longer than 6 seconds total).

Janet Kuypers
As you can see from that 10-year-old image, the header for the JKPoetryVine Twitter/X page even listed that it was for 6-second poem videos. Well, I had to correct it; that was then, for it posts more now.

As for the two cars that have been abandoned in front of my hosts in September... I noticed that last night, the white car closest to our house was swapped out with a white pickup truck. (So maybe someone didn’t abandon that white vehicle, perhaps they’re just “storing” it in front of my house for a few months before placing it with another white vehicle. The space right by my house is apparently now where people choose to “store” cars for months or years... at least it’s another white vehicle I can see out my office window at the front of my house daily.)

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241219 
We went to the New Baltimore Sportsman Club 12 years ago today before the 12/21/12 Mayan ending of their calendar, which some proselytized as the ending of civilization. So we celebrated with Yuengling beers... before the world didn’t end. I wrote a poem about how people fear the end of the world and look for truths in calendars, that I wrote for the Aztec Calendar/Sun Stone Discovery. The poem “Understand the Power (The Universe is in your Hands edit)” is included in the CyberWit 2024 poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”.

I just accepted a Facebook friend request from Scott Macmann, and it says on his profile page that he’s a “K - The Film” producer. I know nothing about this, but Janet Kuypers always looks for the letter K (and this was one of his cover photos). I am confident the picture was made with AI, but I love this K building.https://www.facebook.com/macmann.scott/posts/841119304511285:841119304511285 |

Having problems with Amazon during the Christmas season is nothing new... I see that 4 years ago today Amazon was holding back the release of Scars annual datebooks, and I have been going through updates to both of the 2025 datebooks this week too... They are now going through their final round of approvals from Amazon. So, like years past from Amazon, in a day or two they should be guaranteed to be the “one perfecto thing” for the new year!

Seeing this post from 14 years ago today that I used the South Park image of me as a profile photo in 2011 made me wonder if having the photographer and beer image suits me (I think it does).

I’ll have to search to see if I’ve ever had a beer in a profile photo, but I *know* I’ve had a camera in my profile photo even *this* year (just call my photojournalism Janet)...

Huge news about my writing journey this month. Got notice that my poem with Scars Publications was chosen for the “September-December Collection Book” publication.https://www.amazon.com/.../B0DPH.../ref=ox_sc_act_title_2... AND THEN I got notified that I was being selected for the “Best of the Year Collection Book” with Scars Publications as well! https://www.amazon.com/.../B0DNX.../ref=ox_sc_act_title_1... I have a huge love in my heart for Down in the Dirt and Scars Publishing, and hearing that I was selected to be part of these two collection books just pumps me up.

I still have this 312 tap handle on display with the beer glasses... It’s an average beer, it’s my area code for an artificial island just north of downtown Chicago, and I *love* that the tap handle is an old-school phone (that I love that I got 6 years ago).

Janet Kuypers Oh, my Bobster, thanks for sharing this... You were guessing a date; I ran the open mic at the Café from 2010-2011, because I moved the open mic from the Café to The Gallery Cabaret in January 2012. I went to the open mic’s main page, now at https://scars.tv/thecafe/, and found this image, which I dated 20111218. This photo was the last get-together at the Café before it moved to The Gallery Cabaret. |

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241212 
I saw this photo sitting on John’s desk last night, and it made me smile (I didn’t realize I posted it 6 years ago today that I also shared 2 years ago today of us at a now-closed-down restaurant in Austin).

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241212 
This post from 7 years ago today surprised me — not because I was reading a poem from the book “(pheromemes) 2015-2017 poems”, but because this YouTube video was filmed at the Buenos Aires Wildlife Preserve, the same wilderness I mentioned in the poem “Unique Roads” that is linked in the Index to Argentina in the 2024 CyberWit poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”...

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241211 
Images of our past Christmas tree (like this one from 3 years ago today is pretty much the only way I can enjoy ornaments on a tree — with the kittens Titan and Callisto in our house this year, more plants are now behind closed doors to my office upstairs (or Callie would eat them all)... When we put up a Christmas tree with lights but next to no ornaments on Thanksgiving weekend, Callie *still* climbs up it and knocks off ornaments (so I am &*not* risking the destruction of $1k+ glass ornaments this year). It’s not a kid-friendly tree, but we don’t have kids — but this year our tiny terrors for kittens will stop us from putting my ornaments up now. You know, the Charlie Brown Christmas tree had 1 red ornament... Maybe I should use one red ball instead...

I was colder then than I am now (being at the Drake passage on our way to Antarctica might have something to do with it), but I was honored 7 years ago today when I was honored to sing the ending of the “What We Need In Life” chorus in English & Romanian (sung 11/15/17)... I learned it in different languages and shared video posts in German (long live Laschet’s), Serbian (long live Baci and The Café), Spanish (long live G at Mickey Finn’s), and Tagalog (that I even sang a second time after talking to people *from* the Philippines on this boat).

On 12/9/10 (which I also shared after moving from Chicago on 12/9/16) I shared a YouTube video of the finalé story in the Janet Kuypers 45+ minute-long show “the Stories of Women”, performed in front of multiple videos on stage 12/4/10 in Lake Villa IL at Swing State. I have missed the opportunity to perform with such elaborate videos the way I used to in the Midwest.

We got there just before the distiller was closing (thank you for the tour, Logan), and it was great to taste some very good wheat whiskeys, as well as some liquors distilled from local breweries of beers the brewers chose to not sell (now *that’s* what I call reduce, reuse, recycle).

I *love* this video still from my reading my poem “The State of the Nation” from her poetry performance art collection book “Chapter 48 (v1)” at the LAST get-together of Fort 2 Famous in Austin that I uploaded 6 years ago today, not only because of the action you see in the poem (or that I even kept a Buzz Mill Cider can from there to commemorate the ending of this poetry open mic), but also because this book cover happens to have a cover with my photo of the view of Chicago from the (now closed) 96th floor lounge of the once-and-always John Hancock building.

Okay, it might be a little chilly for me to have a short-sleeved Bears t-shirt when watching a game outdoors (like I did 9 years ago today), but when I was at this bar they had multiple games on multiple TVs, so I had no audio. I’m glad we can get Bears games remotely now (which means we save money on buying beers at bars to watch games), but I must admit that watching it while out is more fun than watching it at home — no matter how poorly the Bears are doing. (P.S.: I am looking forward to a 3:20 start time for the Bears game in a few days, especially with a brand-new mid-season coach...)

I’m still waiting for the Amazon printers to send me proof copies of the 2024 collection books before they can be released, but this post from 1 year ago today of “2023 in a Flash” (which for the next week or 2 is still linked on the main page at Scars Publications) happens to have an edited cover with the view of Chicago from the 96th floor of the once-and-always John Hancock building (which,. unedited, also graced the cover of a poetry performance art collection book).

Janet Kuypers 20241202 
Okay, 10 years ago today, when I didn’t even own a smartphone, I got a second Twitter account for only posting 6-second “Vine” videos. Well, “Vine” shut down, but kept their mini-videos online for years, but then disappeared entirely, so that meant my twitter.com/JKPoetryVine pretty much became dormant (since I still have my Twitter.com/janetkuypers account). But after my last smartphone died and I had to upgrade from 9 to 24, I decided that from now on, on my smartphone, I’ll never reference Twitter, I mean X, from my janetkuypers account, but from my JKPoetryVine account — this way I can continue to post updates for x.com/janetkuypers on my hard drive & on JKPoetryVine from my phone.https://www.facebook.com/janetkuypers/posts//10204594853365297 |

I was “whelmed” (but not overwhelmed) yesterday with releasing cc&d and Down in the Dirt books and running the “Poetic License 12/1/24 Global Open Mic” (thanks again to guest Zoom host David Leo Sirois, and I hope we can celebrate our regular Zoom host John F. McMullen’s return to Poetic License 1/5/25) that I decided to not reflect on past magazine issue releases... but I *can* share this now, because it was cool when we took photos gazing out over Lake Michigan from North Chicago years ago, and a faded version of looking out toward the horizon was the perfect cover for the final cc&d digest-sized book release. After this issue was released 11 years ago yesterday (over 100 issues ago even), cc&d has been released as 6" x 9" books globally through Amazon...https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202061107663238&set=a.1601561992956.87650.1053252458&type=3&theater |

Posts like this from 3 years ago today remind me that even Twitter-length Periodic Table poems like “Einsteinium from flying through mushroom clouds” can relate to locations like the Marshall Islands and warrant a place in the new CyberWit book release too, which is worth sharing on Black Friday — now available in different sizes, now available for sale.

We put the tree up and are afraid of putting ornaments on it, in case my cats would climb the tree. On John’s suggestion, I stopped putting nutcrackers up on the window sill, so that Callie could guard with the nutcrackers too.

As I moved the table so there was a spot for a Christmas tree. I noticed it left an indentation in the carpet. Callie (my little Callisto) seemed to think that the x marked the spot for her and not the this year’s Christmas tree.

10 years ago today, Lorelei had the family Thanksgiving dinner decorated with a ring above the table with birds made from maps, flying with LOCATIONS for people at the table — map birds I kept and still have on my tree at home, now that I live far away from family. I am sorry I cannot be with everyone for the holiday; I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. I wish we could be there spending time with you all too.

Excelsior!

But at least you’re eating a dead bird for Thanksgiving before you change your vegan choices... I guess that’s how values change for some people. I suppose I understand that veganism/vegetarianism isn’t a moral choice for some, but merely a healthy one. Since for me it’s a moral choice and I don’t sway from it, I don’t tune in when people talk about new problems they find from eating meat.(P.S.: 1/1/25 is my 30th anniversary of being a vegetarian — and when this vegetarian went to a nice steak restaurant in Argentina, they jokingly gave me a cloth placemat, that I love and have kept...) |

Since we might be going to the rainforest for my thirty-year anniversary of being a vegetarian, I am glad that this gentleman from Brazil was able to take our photo. Granted, Brazil is about as large as the United States, but it’s a different culture, and it was wonderful to talk with him for a while...

This post from 1 year ago today gives me the impetus to share harrowing news due to Amazon printers and datebooks for the Scars Pub. literary community...I have been waiting on ordering proof copies of the 9-12 2024 issues collection books from cc&d & Down in the Dirt as well as the 2024 annual collection book, & waiting for them to approve the 2025 “Flash Fiction” & “Poetry Review” datebooks, and the Amazon printer then told me that the “Poetry Review” datebook is a “low content” book because it is a datebook, and does not get an ISBN# and cannot have a scheduled release date. I explained vehemently how wrong they were, and that they have published these books AS BOOK for YEARS in the past with no problem, so after waiting for a day for them to come to their senses (they haven’t), today I had to RE-submit both the “Flash Fiction” & “Poetry Review” datebooks to the printer, hoping they’ll not make the same mistake twice (and I’ll be able to order review copies of these calendar collection books). I feel bad that this lateness is due to Amazon’s incompetence, but there *have* been years where collection books (including datebooks) were not released until the next January, so it could be worse... (P.S.: The light bulb images from the 2024 datebooks were taken at the Elgin Circle Brewing Company the week before they closed... Good thing I saved a keg of their Doppel Blur and have been patient with my consumption of it, so it is still on tap here. I might have some while watching the Illini basketball game tonight...) |

We *must* have lights (like I shared 6 years ago today), so we need to light up the outside of our house this year (the kittens can’t mess that up). But I remember a few years ago when we decorated a tree on our front lawn right by the sidewalk & someone deliberately cut the lights & destroyed them (yay for their Christmas spirit), so we’ll keep all of our outdoor Christmas lights closer to our house now.

This Instagram post from 6 years ago today is reflective (literally, with all the glass ornaments) of how we decorate the tree after Thanksgiving during the holiday weekend. Thanksgiving is later in November this year, and *this* year we have two kittens with claws (and little Callisto loves to climb our plants), so I am *far* too nervous about placing $1,000+ glass ornaments on a tree for her to potentially knock down. and destroy. We’ll put a tree up this Friday, but we’ll start with just lights and nothing else to see how our kittens react to the tree.

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241121 
I share this memory from 6 years ago today because this is a video of poetry from the Scars Pub. book “Chapter 48 (v 1)” with my cover photo of the Chicago skyline at night from the 96th floor of the (once and always) John Hancock building — before that business closed. I recently saw a news release that talked about all the things Chicagoans all wanted back, and among them were, the STORE Marshall Field’s (I saved a box of Frango Mints with the Marshall Field’s label on it), and, of course, the Signature Lounge at the top of 875 North Michigan Avenue. I’ve been to the Tilt and taken photos of what looks like the view when someone is standing right at the edge of the top of a highrise, but it’s not the same as seeing the view of the Chicago skyline at night like that...

I keep finding changes that need to be made to 2025 datebooks. But in this release from 11 years ago today, I only produced one datebook then, and even though I *loved* having a spiral-bound datebook (so calendar pages would stay open better), this book wasn’t printed worldwide. Forgive the datebooks for release in December, but I hope they’re worth it to the Scars literary community...

Since my poetry television show reading/interview was only broadcast locally, I was more than pleased to share not only the original YouTube video of the TV show online to the world but also the re-broadcast of the show, like I did 4 years ago today (which is why in some of my later live Facebook video streams I gave the re-broadcasts different film effects, like this Charcoal filter)... In some respects, I may be a luddite at heart, but I always appreciate the opportunity to share poetry in as many forms as possible — including television.

I’ll post it here again — maybe I should reprint this for the back window of my car again.

I may not live here anymore, and Blagojevich may have been pardoned by Trump, but a license plate that says “the only place where our governors make our license plates” is still priceless.

I am sorry, Universe, that I am not as fast as I was 3 years ago today with the releaser of one of the Scars Publications literary date books — I am finishing the poetry one today. Hopefully, I can complete the flash fiction one literally in a flash too. *Then* they have to go to Amazon printers for review and I have to approve the ~3-week-mailing proof copy before the 2025 datebooks can be released.

For years, people have been abandoning cars right by my house, and it has been next to impossible to get rid of them. With this new wave of three cars, I thought the third car was awfully close to the mailbox station for the subdivision... and last night, the third car that was closest to the mailbox was towed away. But dot fret, this morning, someone decided to replace that third abandoned car with a *new* abandoned car.

President Joe Biden (my last time to say this while he’s still the President) once said in a speech that throughout history, veterans have been the best people in this country, so I salute you all — and thank you for your service.

Happy Birthday, Vic Phan! Seeing that today is your birthday, and after seeing these memories of past birthday wishes while he was drawing my poem Under the Sea, I figured today’s a good time to remind everyone that the coloring book “Under the Sea: a little girl’s journey” with drawings by Vic Phan is still available for sale — and I hear as the Christmas season approaches that it makes a perfect Christmas gift!

I stream live Facebook videos from my “Poetic License” readings to advertise it. Facebook now does not allow my phone (that does the live streams) to stream horizontally, so I like seeing streams like this from 3 years ago today where they could not only be horizontal streams but there were also cooler choices on effects on live streams (like this one had that I can no longer find). ...But I *did* enjoy reading my poem “Under the Sea” from the books “Under the Sea: a little girl’s journey” & “Under the Sea: a little boy’s journey” too.

I am a few days late, but we finally got to start the procedures for making our Mustang Merlot with the Mustang grapes Janet picked from our own vines. I was very concerned that the grapes were brown after being frozen, but Janet noted that the grape concentrate is also brown, not bright red. I have no idea how this is going to turn out so wish us luck.

This post from 11 years ago today mourning the passing of Chicago chef (& Ayn Rand enthusiast) Charlie Trotter makes me wonder if bad things happen on 5 Nov in the States (as yesterday makes me fear the political dissolving of women’s rights).I mentioned in a post 2 days ago that a news release talked about all the things Chicagoans all wanted back — what I didn’t mention then was that one of the things that people desperately wanted back was Charlie Trotter’s restaurant. In honor of all this, I might wear my “Who is John Galt?” t-shirt when I go out today. |

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20231104 
I share this memory from 6 years ago today (that I shared 1 year ago today) because this is a video of poetry from the Scars Pub. book “Chapter 48 (v 1)” with my cover photo of the Chicago skyline at night from the 96th floor of the (once and always) John Hancock building — before that business closed. I recently saw a news release that talked about all the things Chicagoans all wanted back, and among them were, the STORE Marshall Field’s (I saved a box of Frango Mints with the Marshall Field’s label on it), and, of course, the Signature Lounge at the top of 875 North Michigan Avenue. I’ve been to the Tilt and taken photos of what looks like the view when someone is standing right at the edge of the top of a highrise, but it’s not the same as seeing the view of the Chicago skyline at night like that...

I enjoyed this place for far too many years... And just today I wore my revolution shirt in Austin Texas when we went out this evening, so it breaks my heart that this Logan square location is closing down. We went there for years back in the day to have their cheese soup which they stopped (sniff sniff) but I hate to see Chicago places like this closing down. It breaks my heart.

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241101 
How weird! Last night I went to Prost Alehouse, and because the World Series just ended I wore a Cubs shirt (no, the Cubs weren’t in it this year). I explained to them how we watched them winning at Little Woodrow’s Techridge (I even said we sang the 7th inning stretch), and TODAY I see this video post from 8 years ago OF us singing the 7th inning stretch when the Cubs won the World Series...

Now that they have towed the rape van away that was abandoned here for over a year it seems as if the neighborhood’s been informed that there is space here to leave their cars. It is now 3 cars that are right out of my house that are being abandoned here and they’re about to encroach on the mailbox space on this public street (which is what I see out my office window all day every day and what I literally pass when I go for a walk every morning)... But per usual I am sure the Austin government or any authority figures will do absolutely nothing about it.

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241031 
I dressed as an alewife for Halloween 2 years ago today and I posed like this when someone took our picture as I wore my mom’s costume witch cap. When I entered photo-intense beer labels for the Brew Your Own magazine label contest years ago, I only got an honorable mention for St. Lucifer’s Pentupel when it was the least photo-intensive label. So, the photo from this post became the base for the cider that Walking Seed Brewing created (stay tuned for details and label).
|
|

Janet Kuypers
So they don’t want photos... fine... I’ll make it a multi-medium label design, with a drawing based on that alewife photo, then generate clip art out of the apron and ruffle collar, then clip art smoke. And because John first made the blackberry cider “Cauldron” and I made its label with a cauldron and dry ice, I used that label’s cauldron for the witch on my new label to hold. May I introduce you to “Witch’s Brew” — we’ll see how this fares in the label contest this year. I’m not holding my breath, but I’ll hope...

I feel so disappointed that I’m not making or investing so much into my costume this year... I planned on dressing up as Deepthought (from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”); I was going to fashion a huge gold frame for over my head (I even bought gold spray paint and had styrofoam pieces I kept for ~6 months that I planned to engineer into a box for this). Because of this, John paid for a costume to be Arthur Dent (which is SO much easier to pull off than being a giant gold box). After Amazon said they’d refund me for the gold shirt I ordered (money I haven’t seen from them yet, btw) we stopped at a Halloween shop and we see a costume for South Park’s Towelie. That’s when John says, “wait, Arthur’s not supposed to be anywhere without his towel...” so I got the costume and am going as Towelie in New Orleans and Halloween. It’s not as much work to dress up, and it should be easier to maneuver when walking a half mile to the French Quarter too...

When looking for an Instagram image associated with a poem I read for a TV show years ago, AI suddenly generated this description below. (I want to know how it came up with this, and I want to know how off — or on target — they were.)“Janet Kuypers is known for her expressive and introspective writing style, which often incorporates elements of social commentary and personal reflection. Her work encourages readers to think critically about their own experiences and emotions.” |

While I was walking today someone asked me if I was collecting trash and I told them I was collecting recyclable trash. They said thank you.I guess I could have made this another rant about how rude and inconsiderate people are to the planet — and that some people are filthy enough to leave an entire box (which I guess makes it easier for me to collect all of their filth), but it is nice to know that someone is appreciative enough to thank me on my 5-mile walk, and that I’m not the only one out there who thinks that leaving recyclable trash out in the street like this is such a waste. |

I sent a select few labels for the Brew You Own label contest this year, but 2 years ago today I just found out that St. Lucifer’s Pentupel got an honorable Mention (I have no idea if “Witch’s Brew”, “Aviatór”, or “Bananas Foster Ave.” won anything yet, but I’m not holding my breath).

Someone left a car battery right in front of our house.Do you know how to get rid of a car battery? You bring it to any car repair shop and they are legally required to take it. So this is not Texas’ “good enough” mentality, this is Texas’ “I’m a f****** a******” mentality. (What, they don’t abandon cars, just car parts instead?) |

I saw John change his Facebook profile picture to his kindergarten photo. Since I had a memory from 5 years ago today of me from my In One Ear poetry feature with the cover of the book “(pheromones) haiku, Instagram, Twitter, and poetry” that *has* my kindergarten photo, I thought I’d temporarily use my kindergarten photo from that book cover for my profile picture.

Even though it is in London it is considered a home game for the Bears so it’s cool to see Chicago Bears logos everywhere on the field. And it’s nice to have strawberries and cream while watching them... And in their most recent touchdown the Bears sat down in the end zone and acted like they were drinking tea. Perfect. (And no, I didn’t know it was a home game — so when I put on a Jersey I figured they were away in London and I’d wear my Urlacher away Jersey...)

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20241009 
It was mind-blowing to run into people at my favorite Austin brewery who were literally from Vizag — the same town I visited in India on my 20th vegetarian anniversary (that John even photo bombed 3 years ago today). My vegetarian 10th anniversary was in the Poconos (where I chose to become a vegetarian), and as my 30th vegetarian anniversary now approaches, John suggested the rainforest. Since deforestation from animal herding has been decimating the rainforests globally I thought this would be a perfect idea.

Nine years ago today, I snapped the photo of John in our kitchen right before we were about to move, and I wrote “You have no idea how much I’m going to miss this home.” Proof of my feelings on this is that I still have *this photo* from this post on my phone.

It has been 2½ days now since a *new* vehicle has taken over the spot for abandoned cars right next to my house. I don’t know how much longer this car will be here, but at least it’s not a huge white van (and it’s not *as* frightening to look out of my office window and see every day)...

I keep looking for re-broadcasts of my half-hour “Texas Nafas Poetry Television show” on TV here, but that is only my most recent TV appearance. This post from 8 years ago today when I read poetry on stage to a live audience for “the Lake County Poets Society”, was later aired on TV 4 times on 12/06 — with this timeless poem, “Death Takes Many Forms.”.

I may be sad that this view I photographed (which is now the cover of the Scars Publications book “Chapter 48 (v1)”) is from the now-closed 96 Signature Lounge (at the once and always John Hancock building), but this post from 6 years ago today reminds me of the article I *just* saved, how “360 Chicago hired architecture for SOM for complete renovation of the Signature Room” So who knows, maybe one day people will be able to enjoy that great view again...

Went for a walk today and had to take multiple trips of multiple bags of recyclable trash back to my recycle bin from the trash can near the pool in this subdivision (btw, garbage trucks cannot come to this area which has a trash can but no recycle bin). I don’t know if there was so much recyclable trash to pick up because I haven’t been walking as much lately or because everyone is a filthy pig and no one cares about our planet... I feel like I’m the only steward around here.

When I went for a walk today I passed a “mini library” I saw a year or two ago where you could trade books at the front of a neighbour’s house, and donated 10 to 15 Scars Publications Books back then... So I was pleased when I actually saw 2 copies of “The Adventures of Bob the Bumblebee and Other Stories” which scars published decades ago.

I may have first shared this 5 years ago today (for the book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)”), and I might have shared it again 1 year ago today, but today (October 1) is World Vegetarian Day, the first day of World Vegetarian Awareness Month (so this bears repeating). So, then or now, let’s be a part of the solution.http://scars.tv/kuypers/poems/2019/just-made-the-choice.htm
Just read an article in the Wall Street Journal today, Anything to boost sales for the bottom line.
Some may now wonder what the big fuss is all about, but nobody learns. We just kill. That solves everything.
But that is the beauty of evolving, that is the beauty like our ancient ancestors. But what did we learn.
We learned the beauty of Capitalism is that we can pay But in this system, we do get blood on our hands.
To feed more and more people with the cheapest product, People say they care, but nothing ever changes.
I wonder if corporations not allowing people into their plants Because... after you choose peace, the rest is easy.
If your workday is bothering you, if the news of racial tensions, that is when you will finally truly feel at peace. |

I see this post cover from 7 years ago today makes me think, wait, I should get my skeleton out for decorating this month for Halloween. All I’ve been doing these past few months is cleaning up after my tiny terror kittens (my “Osiris” Titan cat brought back from the dead post-neutering surgery, and my little girl Callisto who wants to climb on EVERYTHING, knock over pictures, and break glass — and eat half my plants, which is why some are moved behind my closed office doors now making my office a jungle again), so the last thing on my mind has been to “decorate” for Halloween... especially when Titan is “still” slowly gaining his sight back, so I don’t want to add more things in the house temporarily to confuse him.

Space-X docking crew 9 took off yesterday and is docking at the ISS right now. The ISS has a great camera shot of Space-X as it was approaching orbital sunset (orbital nighttime lasts ~45 minutes), and check this out: the colorful dots are not stars, but points of radiation damage to the camera lens.

As a literary magazine editor, I want your opinion on the best upcoming 12/24 issue cover of Down in the Dirt magazine, v226, because we have two ideas (based on accepted titles in the issue), “Reverse” and “Sea Graves”, with art for both covers that work well. Let us know if you prefer one over the other (or if people like them both we may release the book with 2 covers and titles, potentially as v226a and v226b).Which cover idea do you prefer? Please let us know your opinion on this post, and we look forward to hearing from you soon! (“Reverse” has 2 photos of the Chicago skyline, the reversed; the upside-down image was taken from a plane, and the top image was taken from a boat, used for an international Trade Show with buildings and monuments from around the globe mixed into the skyline. “Sea Graves” has an image in Puerto Rico of a cemetery with graves along a building, all against the Bahía da San Juan.) |

People liked my tennis summer profile photo, but I really prefer profile photos when I am actually doing my performance art work, like past pictures dressed as justice adorned with wire hangers for my poetry book “Testament” feature in Arkansas — or my current one of my Chicago “The Universe is in Your Hands” book feature at Tangible Books (wearing newspaper earrings and a custom map of Chicago shirt). This post from 7 years ago is more evidence that I have enjoyed poetry reading book features in bookstores...

I know I’ve been reading Twitter-length Periodic Table poems at my past “Poetic License” open mics because they have followed element stories by James Bates in issues of cc&d & Down in the Dirt. Still, this post from 3 years ago today (before it was published in the Scars Publications book “Twitter Verse Periodic Table Poetry”) *also* drives my impetus to share that this also appears in the CyberWit 2024 Janet Kuypers poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”.

When I see memories of my Chicago night sky photo at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the 96 Signature Lounge (at the once and always John Hancock building), I usually see it for the performance art book release — not a CHAPbook release from a past Chicago show. I’m glad this photo also made it to the cover of the Scars Publications cc&d supplement chapbook “To the Bottom of the Earth and Back”. Because I’m telling you, seeing this post from 6 years ago today makes me STILL want a huge poster of this since I’ve moved to Texas.

This is a cc&d call for all poets...As the editor of cc&d magazine (ccandd96 at scars dot tv is the email address for cc&d at https://scars.tv/ccd), I have noticed recently that people have been submitting lots of long stories for consideration. As I am filling the Winter and Spring 2025 issues of cc&d I have fewer and fewer poems, and I would like to see more poetry — especially when poetry is the front section of every book! So I’d like to ask all poets to send poetry submissions to cc&d magazine online at ccandd96 at scars dot tv>. As the byline goes, “The UN-religious, NOn-family oriented literary and art mag” would love to let poetry take over the more of the front of every upcoming issue, and your poetry could be a part of future issues of cc&d magazine! Thanks, and we look forward to getting your poetry submissions emailed to cc&d magazine <ccandd96 at scars dot tv>... - Janet P.S.: People ask for a link to email, and I avoid posting links to emails to block spam, so I repeatedly spell the email address out when I write cc&d magazine <ccandd96 at scars dot tv. |

I heard the beeping outside my office window so I went down there to see that they finally were getting rid of of this van that has been abandoned here for a year right by my house. When I approached, they told me they were just going to park it on the other side of the street, and I said, no no no, tow it and move it as far away as possible. They said they’d put it on someone else’s street so I can be someone else’s problem, which I hate to do, but if it stays in front of somebody else’s house for a year they might have the same problems I’ve had with it around for so long.But at least after a year it’s finally accomplished and they’ve finally moved this abandoned van away from my house! |

Avrom, I *had* to share this Facebook friendship notice because of the array of photos and locations we have frequented over the years. You gave impetus for my writing (and winning) Twitter-length poetry for Periodic Table elements... it’s a shame we couldn’t meet up the last time I visited Chicago...

This post from 6 years ago today says the Laver Cup finals are today... This year they were yesterday, and we pre-recorded the Berlin finals and we were starting to watch them, but we have 1 with Zverev and Tiafoe, or depending on the outcome of this match possibly 2, matches to see before we know *this* year’s finals. We’ve been avoiding social media posts about it so we can watch it tonight, and it *will* be like the finals ended today (at least for us).

I know this post is from 6 years ago today when we had tickets to the Laver Cup, but we are watching the finals (pre-recorded) now and it reminds me that someone commented about the statue for the Laver Cup and that it has 200 etches, notches if you will, along the top of the glass and all of those notches are for the 200 wins of matches that Rod Laver had won over his career. I thought Roger Federer was amazing when he had 100 wins, and I know that didn’t beat Jimmy Connors’ 108 wins, so 200 for Rod Laver is just so phenomenal...

Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20240922 
Since we were in Chicago with Laver Cup tickets 6 years ago today (and it’s early live play from Berlin this year), we’ve recorded it and are watching it our time this weekend (and I was even wearing that custom Laver Cup shirt this morning too).

Today this table is a space to collage all of my vegetarian labels for display in my kitchen. In the past, I had so many limited-time-only vegetarian wrappers from products that have existed over the years that the space above my fridge was getting far too cluttered. Weeks ago I cut all of these things down so that I could make one large collage of vegetarian labels of everything from McDonald’s to Burger King to Pizza Hut to Kentucky Fried Chicken to Jimmy Dean’s to White Castle — and to lots of other vegetarian products that are out on the market now too. Right now I’m using everything from encyclopedia books to unopened beer cans to apply pressure to this collage so that it will all stay together and stand the test of time.

We still have (& I still wear) this custom t-shirt (with photos I took of Chicago and those professional tennis players AT the Laver Cup), as we did 6 years ago today when we watched the 2018 Laver Cup live in Chicago. Since it’s in Berlin this weekend, we’re recording the morning live matches to watch them all on our time (you know, versus Berlin time).

I am scratching under his neck because tiny Osiris Titan, like me, might be aggravated that the fighting Illini have (hopefully temporarily) lost their lead over Nebraska in the football game we’re watching. I hope (& I’d guess) Doug Ward is watching with us, since both of us are now outsiders rooting for our home team...

I had to re-take passport photos today for my passport book renewal, as their new policy is that your passport photo cannot contain a smile. How ironic that my photo envelope says “Find smiles inside” — because now my passport’s equally dour...

This minivan was abandoned FOR A YEAR and they didn’t even tow it when they re-paved the road. Instead of towing it, today they decided to put up a sign right next to it that saysTOW ZONE ...which is priceless. I still see this out my office window in my red house here, but that sign is the stupidest and funniest thing to cap my workweek. |

I wrote this post 10 years ago today (that Facebook only acknowledged from a decade-old Twitter post today), but it still accurately summarizes my opinion of emoticons — and supports my belief that *if* emoticons were used, more accurate ones would be more appropriate.

This van has been abandoned nearly in front of my house for a year now, and when they were repaving the streets they came to my house yesterday and asked about the status of that van. I told them it had been abandoned there for a year and that they should tow it and they said OK, and then... They use the “good enough” Austin Texas mentality of actually repaving the street but not bothering to tow the abandoned truck and leave the road incomplete. Translation: after a year, we have a partially repaved street and a year-long abandoned car STILL taking space right in front of my house.

You see Sandy, the “good enough” mentality (that seems to be quite prevalent here in the South) is that everyone only does a 1/2-a** job of it, even if it is incomplete, but at least it’s out of the way — and that is “good enough”. No one complains about it because everyone’s just used to everything being done poorly. They think that’s just the way it is because their mentality of accomplishing anything down here is that anything done is “good enough” (even if it’s not).

They are finally repaving our road today and someone just came to the door and asked if this van was ours. I begged them to tow it because it has been abandoned here since last September... That’s one full year that this van has been abandoned here and I think they’re going to tow it today!

Uno (an outdoor black cat in the neighborhood) was not out this morning, but when I was bringing recyclable trash out to the curb for pick up not only was Callisto there looking through the front door window, but also Titan. Titan still doesn’t have his eyesight back so I understand why he’s not trying to look through the glass but I’m really hoping his road to recovery is continually improving.

Janet Kuypers 20240917 
Uno often comes to visit in the mornings, but this time Callie was looking through the front door, and I think they were checking each other out. I wonder if Callie was thinking, “This is the biggest cat I’ve ever seen!”

John Yotko is with Janet Kuypers at Pint House Pizza (via Instagram). 20240914 
First time at this Pint House after dropping off a car full of styrofoam to be recycled. Janet struggled to find beers she likes because so many of the options are IPAs and not hefes or malty dark lagers. She is smiling though because she found an IPA with a high ABV that tastes kind of like a Mai Tai.

I already got a “like” to this post (thank you). I was thinking that this “desire to achieve” as that image in this quote states perfectly relates to my creating the mass of pro-women’s-rights post-Roe v. Wade overturning poems that led to the CyberWit publishing the 2023 book “Testament”. I would hope these poems make a difference for women in these battleground (and often Southern) states, but if nothing else I shed light on an issue & on people who would rather fundamentally suppress women so much, as soon as they get the chance.

This Facebook cover photo posted 3 years ago today was used to accompany one of my location poems, “Edge of that Massive Impact”, that I displayed during the last reading of my 2024 Poetry Bomb and that appears in the CyberWit 2024 poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”. But news flash: it’s also going to appear in the October 2024 issue of Down in the Dirt

I’ve been taking care of my recovering kittens lately, and this morning I didn’t understand why John stopped the car when he was pulling away to go to work. Uno was there — but it seems this cat has been getting a lot of food from other people lately, so I didn’t feel too bad about not getting him extra food today.

I got roses last week; I’d like to think they were for my recent successful national poetry tour after my 2024 CyberWit poetry book release, “The Universe is in Your Hands.” With all the stress that has been going on taking care of our kitten Titan the past 1½ weeks after his surgery, dying & resurrection, I have to physically remind myself to smell the roses and try to relax a little during my work day.

The publisher of the book “The Universe is in Your Hands”is one of the people who liked this photo. This photo was taken while I was reading poetry from that book at 1 of my features in Chicago, and even though I’m not holding the book I made a point to make sure a copy of the book was visible on the bookshelves behind me (visible right above my hand in the image).

It still makes me envious to see this cover photo I uploaded 6 years ago today that I took after I had just seen the 2017 total solar eclipse, of pictures at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the 96 Signature Lounge (at the once and always John Hancock building) — I miss that view. It became the cover of the Scars Publications Janet Kuypers poetry performance art book “Chapter 48 (v1)”, so I’m glad I caught this image before the lounge was closed down — and that this view now has a place in the performance art, poetry, and publishing world.

When I am here to read submissions at the end of everybody else’s work day I usually see videos upon John ’s iPad... But they are usually a photos of other people from occasions, so I think this was cool to see so many pictures of me having a good time this summer at shows in Chicago, my college town, and Arkansas — as well as right here, having fun on my birthday.

Janet Kuypers is with Michael Kelly and 10 others. 20240901 
Today is the big day! come and join us (as always, on the first Sunday of every month) for the Zoom meeting at the “Poetic License 9/1/24 Global Open Mic” — the Austin, Texas ‘Recycled Reads’ G to PG-13-rated pre-pandemic open mic (that if it was AT Recycled Reads it would be closed Labor Day Sunday, so we wouldn’t even have this open mic in September back in the pre-pandemic day) is now GLOBAL through the Zoom meeting! If you don’t have the address, find it on the Facebook event page. John F.

You would think that getting my cats spayed and neutered would be no problem... and it was no problem for my little Callisto girl; Callie is recovering just fine. But after Titan’s heart stopped beating for over a minute Friday, Titan was resurrected and has been in ICU for these past 2 days. (Though instead of calling him tiny Titan I think we’re going to call him Dionysus Titan or Osiris Titan...) The doctors say that the blindness will go away, and he is shaking trying to learn how to use all his muscles. Visiting him this morning was the first time we saw him walk — he was meowing to the doctors all the time, but once he got into my arms he stopped shaking and finally calmed down.I went through this kind of recovering myself years ago, so the 2 of us are just so thrilled he’s alive. We are getting the house ready to be able to bring him back tonight and teach him how to eat and function again. |

It’s a shame I couldn’t hold the Millennium Bean in place while I was in town (but we were missing a car for over a day and had to get a car ride, an Amtrak train, the L train, a bus, + a 1-mile walk to get our car back), but we would have been cutting it close for street regulations for the DNC. But this memory from 1 year ago today gives me the impetus to thank everyone for the love when we were in town — every time I return it’s like I’ve never been away, so I thank you all!

Normally when I am walking outside on my way home, I collect recyclable garbage. I didn’t have a bag to collect everything today as I walked back from the vet clinic this morning, but I noticed that I could also collect a bag for composting too. (I keep thinking I’m looking like some sort of hoarder carrying this stuff around, but I’m only trying to save the planet instead.)

We still haven’t figured out a proper place for my Reader box. Still, I have to remind myself to look up occasionally from my desk for this splash of color (which is very different from the smaller black Reader boxes I saw on the Chicago streets when I was looking for a paper this month). In the past I’ve saved broken pieces of sidewalk found in front of the Café or Laschet’s, so I’m glad I have this piece of Chicago history in my home with me now.

Now that we have moved the old printer table out of the way and moved the air conditioning unit so we can put the printer on top of the Reader box in the office, John says that maybe he’ll leave the printer on the other side of the room so that no one can physically move around John’s desk. Our office is now more filled and the Chicago Reader box now has no purpose in my office, which is already small enough as it is. (But as least I get to see it while I am sitting at my desk — because right now it’s the best-looking thing in my office.)

Maybe if the 12-volt battery on the car didn’t die after my 1st feature and we had to wait 4½ hours in the middle of the night outside with a car we couldn’t lock for a tow and we were left with no car for over a day during our trip, maybe we would have had time to hang out in downtown Chicago like we did 7 years ago today — oh, wait, we visiting right before the DNC came to Chicago this year, and they were restricting streets, maybe we *wouldn’ve* have made it there this year anyway...

John was so jealous when I told him the bathroom for women at the 96 Signature Lounge (at the once and always John Hancock building) had floor-to-ceiling windows (that is the one time it’s okay to take pictures in the bathroom). I got beautiful photos there 7 years ago today before it closed down because one pic later became the cover of the Scars Publications Janet Kuypers poetry performance art book “Chapter 48 (v1)”.

I keep seeing memories of all of the Janet Kuypers chapbooks released on the DAY of past shows (like this one from 1 year ago today). Scars Publications chose to not make any chapbooks in advance this year for my shows (especially because I was also selling the CyberWit 2024 poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands” for this feature tour). Right now, I’m still catching up on lit mag submission responses, but I hope that soon chapbooks from Chicago show features will be shared for future free downloads.

We may have bottled Zweiter Lauf Hefeweizen 4 years ago today, but since then we’ve made larger batches for kegs, and this year’s Zweiter Lauf was kegged and left on the floor at room temp while we traveled the country (and I instead enjoyed Hacker Pschorr Weissbier watching the Bears at Chicago’s Laschet’s Inn). Since the Bears were playing TNF pre-season against last year’s Super Bowl champions last night (which I’m totally thrilled we won, even though it *was* only a pre-season game), I thank John for getting ~33 oz. to super-chill so I could enjoy it 4 the Bears game.

Janet Kuypers is with John Yotko at Old Chicago. 20240820 · Waco · 
John felt bad that I didn’t want Czech beer and there were no meal options for vegetarians at out last stop, so he figured that since we’re coming back from Chicago, maybe some Old Chicago on our final stop is the way to go. (And since he always talks about the beer he’s drinking, I should mention that we both got Left Hand Belgian Wit Nitro, which is quite good.

Right now we stopped by a Walmart to charge, and it’s a good thing that they have recycle bins at their entrance because even though their recycling containers were filled to capacity, I was able to bring all of this recyclable material to some place that could actually recycle it (instead of keeping it stored in the back of my car).

The label design for the 312 beer may have changed, and John bought a 12 pack of this beer to drink this weekend. He said he likes to drink it, and we’ll have some to bring back with us too.

In all my years living in Chicago, I never went to Goose Island — even the original location. I know they moved to this place after I left for Austin, but I figured hey, if I’m here for such a short time I should at least stop by and hang out with my tap handle for my area code. (We also needed a moment to celebrate after we watched the Bears win in their preseason game today, which was excellent to watch at my favorite bar this afternoon.)

It was wonderful seeing so many other open mic hosts at my Poetry Open Mic at The Gallery Cabaret with feature Janet Kuypers last night at The Gallery Cabaret — but I don’t think I could top the joyous expression on my face when I saw David Rubin visiting from out of town. This is the man who started Café Aloha which went to The Café which I brought to The Café Gallery and ran for many years in Chicago that I was happy to be a part of in hosting at multiple locations. What an honor to see what I’d call the godfather of Chicago poetry as I’ve known it come into town and visit me on my feature night at The Gallery Cabaret!

As I come to my hometown to visit Chicago for multiple poetry features and poetry readings and a Chicago WZRD 88.3 fm radio show interview, it might seem early to say "farewell Chicago", but it always seems that I’m leaving right after I just arrive to visit — especially when I share poetry and sell copies of my newly-released CyberWit Janet Kuypers poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”. I hope everyone will join me at the Gallery Cabaret this evening for an open mic and my poetry feature, and I hope that everyone will go to Tangible Books Saturday early from my bonus week early feature (7:00 PM) before I head up to Windy City Words to read Chicago themed poetry... And I hope everyone will also make it to the beach on Sunday because I hope the weather will clear up and I will meet everyone for Beach Poets and my Sunday feature as well before I go — and all of my new books will be on sale at a discounted price too while I am in town...

Always love enjoying the perfect weather and watching the cars go by while having beer here. They don’t have Optimater right now, and even though I could get my Hacker Pschorr here, today I chose the Andechs doppelbock.

Janet Kuypers is with John Yotko at Reza’s Restaurant & Catering. 20240813 · Evanston, IL · 
I brought John To the Reza’s downtown when we were dating for his birthday and now it is closed. Since then we have always returned to the Reza’s on the North side and we find out this year that *that* restaurant is now closed too. I don’t know how much longer this legacy of a restaurant in Chicago will survive so I’m glad we found 1 to go to and sit down to have a wonderful meal together.

Fondly remembering all of the valuable time together with C Ra McGuirt on days like his Birthday today is almost inspiring me to create and release a Scars Publications Janet Kuypers Tag team poetry book of poems that he accepted of mine in the past at Penny Dreadful Press, since we never got to release this book of our poetry together...

1 year ago today we were coming back from watching the Western and souther an open and I happened to be drinking a can of doppel blur from Circle that I brought along. That tournament is going on right now but we decided not to get tickets for it — and I feel bad that Circle is no longer in operation... And I can’t bring along any of their beer from the keg I purchased last fall to enjoy right now to watch tennis.

Janet Kuypers 20240808 
I saw this Twitter post from 9 years ago today of when I was reading on WZRD radio with my book about India. I am really looking forward to my interview on WZRD radio a week from tomorrow where I will share poetry from the newly released CyberWit Janet Kuypers poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”, which contains pretty about things around the world, including India.

Wow, glad to see this post from 10 years ago today, and I look forward to seeing Cathleen Ann Schandelmeier for my WZRD radio interview on 8/17 and my Beach Poets feature on 8/18, because I can’t wait to share my poetry from the newly-released CyberWit Janet Kuypers poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands” with all my Chicago friends next week!

I’ve been complimented so many times today on my Rubik’s Cube earrings... and today is the first day I realized that the earrings actually WORK as the puzzle. (I’m only allowing one change though, because I don’t want it to look like what it would normally look like after I used a Rubik’s Cube for 10 minutes...)

Janet read a poem from “Shattering the Glass Ceiling” that another poet even praised her for at this Hot Springs open mic, and her reading a poem from “The Universe is in Your Hands” here at WNP was the perfect way for her to start her 2024 U.S. book tour.

Janet Kuypers 20240806 
I walked a quarter mile to the vet’s office to drop something off for my kittens. I didn’t realize how hot it was. Now, I usually rail on about the ignorance and the cruelty of people who leave disposable trash out in the street... but this time I was lucky that someone was stupid enough to drop off an empty bag right at the beginning of my walk home to overflow with recyclable garbage, plastics, and styrofoam that we will drop off to recycle later on.

Janet Kuypers 20240803 
When I first designed the Walking Seed Brewing logo (with the base image from the Walk the Planck NXMW wine label), John didn’t like it. After I won the contest for the St Lucifer’s Pentupel beer label and made myself free double-sided beer coasters, John suggested I use my logo for one side of the coaster (which looks good). Since then he wanted my logo on a white baseball cap. One of the 3 hats arrived yesterday (I don’t know if the other 2 will arrive before we visit his family), but John really likes the logo on the hat. He didn’t want to sweat in it today playing disc golf this morning, so I wore it for an inaugural photo to “celebrate” my logo on his Walking Seed Brewing hat.

Janet Kuypers shared a memory — with ChiRon Kingfish. 20240802
I posted a memory from 5 years ago about (maybe) reading a poem from a different volume of this Events book set. THEN I see this memory from 4 years ago today of the ACTUAL book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)” which contains the Illinois poem “Knew the Word” (but I’ll only read that and/or “New to Chicago” if they want me to read more poetry at Windy City Words 8/17).

I know my upcoming Chicago poetry features will be me reading poetry from the just-released CyberWit 2024 Janet Kuypers poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands”, but seeing this memory from 5 years ago today reminds me that *if* I have time this month at ChiRon Kingfish’s Windy City Words on Saturday, 8/17 (7-9:30pm at 4251 N Lincoln Ave in Chicago)... after my 7:00pm Tangible Books bonus poetry event 8/17/24 with Janet Kuypers feature (3324 S. Halstead, Bridgeport/Chicago), after I read Chicago-themed poetry from the “The Universe is in Your Hands” there, I *might* also read a poem about one of my ancestor, Native Americans, and when Illinois became a state in the Scars Publications poetry book Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)...

It has been a while since I have walked to the grocery store (which is only just over a mile away) and I didn’t need many groceries so I brought a small bag. I forgot how I could collect so much recyclable trash in my walk, and my bag was brimming over by the time I got home (with much more plastic and can trash to recycle than what I actually purchased at the store).

Janet Kuypers 20240730 
Chad, I thought you’d get a kick out of this... I’m walking to and from the grocery store this morning and I put on an old T-shirt and it happens to be one that you gave me back in the days when you were working for Sony and maybe staying in my Chicago apartment. ( I couldn’t take a picture of the back side of this shirt, that says FLOORED...)

It seems that someone in the neighborhood has learned that they can abandon pickup trucks behind this abandoned van parked near my house. There was an ivory truck there for a while, but now there’s this “new” (actually crappy-looking) model. The plates have an expired yet, so I’m not sure how long this pickup truck will stay here... (It does look beaten up, but that doesn’t mean anything to truck drivers around here.)

Now only one week away (and always on the first Sunday of every month), come and join us for the Zoom meeting at the “Poetic License 8/4/24 Global Open Mic” — the Austin, Texas ‘Recycled Reads’ G to PG-13-rated pre-pandemic open mic that is now GLOBAL through the Zoom meeting! If you don’t have the address, find it on the Facebook event page. John F. McMullen (Zoom meeting host) usually starts the Zoom meeting as early as 3:00 PM CST, and I (host Janet Kuypers) will be there 10-15 minutes before the open mic starts). And SINCE this is global, let me list local times for the regulars... 3:30 PM CST Sunday is 9:30 PM Sunday in London, which is 11:30 PM in Greece, which is 5:30 AM SGT Monday in Singapore. So everyone, come get your Poetic License & be a part of the “Poetic License 8/4/24 Global Open Mic” Zoom meeting on Sunday, 8/4/24 (20240804, or 4 Aug 2024), from 3:30-5:30 PM CST! https://www.facebook.com/events/1881667935661715/ |
Janet Kuypers shared a memory. 20240728 
Sometimes Facebook shares memories of past portraits at events; sometimes they’re text listings of YouTube videos. But it’s not often that I see a bunch of different images of Twitter-Verse Periodic Table poems, like “Carbon Copy”, “Nitrogen Needs”, & “Carbon Based Life Forms” from posts 5 years ago today. I know people at my “Poetic License” open mic are getting used to me interjecting while reading “Twitter Verse Periodic Table Poetry” poems, but I think I’ll hold back on reading them when I perform poetry readings at my Chicago features on August 14-18...

Janet Kuypers is at Prost Alehouse. 20240727 · Pflugerville · 
So I am going back and forth between my phone and John’s iPad to read submissions here, and when I went back to the iPad it gave me a series of portraits. Some are moving pictures of us and some are from our award-winning beer and label, but some of them are from past poetry shows I have done in Chicago too. (And of course, some are for the birds...)

It’s a surprisingly large amount of work to get a surprisingly small amount of grapes. (But I think we have enough for our next wine.)
|
|
Janet Kuypers 20240720 
John was originally talking about mixing these Mustang grapes with an enigma wine blend, but we already have “Walk the Planck” enigma wine... so I was postulating that maybe this could mix into a Merlot or a Pinot Noir — and come to think of it, I like the sound of a Mustang Merlot for this NXMW red wine that will have John’s blood moon photo for its label.
|
|
Janet Kuypers 20240720 
We got a late start on picking grapes, and tomorrow should be the last day of picking grapes from the NXMW Vineyard before going toward our next wine.
|
|
Janet Kuypers 20240719 
John (you know, from Walking Seed Brewing) thought that we should wait until the weekend to pick these grapes. But Janet here (you know, from NXMW Winery) thought that some  grapes would be overripe by the weekend, so I’ve been picking a few from our private vineyard every day.

Janet Kuypers 20240717 
I know I have 2 kittens, but this morning when I went to sort some compostables outside I saw another cat come walking over (not Uno, the black cat I usually see). Instinctively I wanted to give the cat some food until I saw words on their collar. I got the chance to read that the collar said, “Please do not feed me”. Okay, I got the message, but I can at least give you some head skritchins before I go inside and tend to my 2 little kittens, Titan and Callisto...

I now have an all-new respect for Jean-Luc Picard and his winery. Worf and LaForge may have called his wine soured mead (& these Mustang grapes may be just as sour), but while harvesting grapes for our next wine, I don’t have any computerized automation picking my grapes from my vineyard for me.

I *would* have used this photo for comparing because Djokovic is in the TV screen like the older pic, but the champagne is cropped out and I’m not wearing the hat...

This photo is different from my photo from 5 years ago... this time I’m holding my tennis finals champagne glass and I’m wearing my new tennis earrings.

We contemplated making cream, but hey, after making breakfast in a kitchen where John and I started making Antimony Sauvignon Blanc and Zweiter Lauf hefeweissbeir this weekend that are now in fermenters, we thought to take the easier way out on the cream. (I might have to enjoy this again with champagne later in the match.)

But before the strawberries and cream, we add protein to our breakfast meal and treat ourselves with these with these wonderful-looking egg delicacies...

I’ve got my champagne chilling, we have our strawberries and cream, and Djokovic is playing in the finals like he did 5 years ago today. My spider plant may be a lot fuller now, but I have that Laver Cup shirt, maybe I’ll try to replicate that photo this morning before the match is through...

Sheri... Bless your heart for liking my post for Warren’birthday today. I am out to do poetry submission readings for my mag I edit (with my ipad) and thought that I would wear the hat that I gave to Warren that we each wore when I joined you all in Chicago for the ALS walk (I still feel bad that I never got photos from that day). I hope all is going well with you in Illinois, and hey, I’m going to be visiting in mid-august if you wanted to get together at all...

Sandra Kuypers John also said I always look good in hats too, so it’s a good thing I have a lot of hats. (Maybe phone filters can soften my face more...) Your word “genuine”, made me think that in the wedding photos I took at your house before going, the photo I took with Sheri is where I looked the most... relaxed, happy, genuine, so maybe it’s Sheri that makes me do that (since this post was to her about the hat for Warren and my later visiting Illinois).

Janet Kuypers shared a memory — with Warren Peterson. 20240712 
Seeing Warren Peterson playing that black acoustic guitar at my wedding makes me nostalgic for the years that guitar was played when we did shows in Chicago as the band “Mom’s Favorite Vase”, the same guitar I borrowed to learn to play the guitar back in ‘98... Happy Birthday, Warren - you are always in our hearts.

Happy 4th of July, everyone! Since Chicago used to always have Independence Day fireworks on the 3rd, we watched a YouTube video on a huge screen when fireworks would normally start in Chicago, 9:20 PM. We didn’t have any orchestral music playing along with it, but we got the idea...

Janet Kuypers 20240702 
In response to the live video post with the Pergola and the sun 4 years ago that had no grapevine on it... Last year when it started growing up from one spot I sculpted it to grow along the roof of every aspect of this Pergola as I could. Now I am even making it grow *down* the opposite side.

I share this post from 4 years ago today not because I was reading poetry from Janet Kuypers’ poetry book “Every Event of the Year (Volume Two: July-December)” (even though it’s a cool book), but because I was reading at the Pergola with the sun beaming over me. Right now grape vines COVER everything over the entire Pergola (and if any grape grow from this, they may go toward Walking Seed Brewing’s next red wine).

John said this was “better than Wimbledon” 12 years ago today, and maybe watching live (even though it’s not Wimbledon) is good, but maybe it’s being close to each other that was better...

Janet Kuypers shared a memory — with Karunesh Kumar Agarwal. 20240701 
Seeing this post from 3 years ago today with the v311 cc&d cover of downtown Chicago at night, made me want to share that I’m pleased I’ll be visiting in mid-August for a few hours of poetry at the Gallery Cabaret, a radio interview on WZRD Chicago radio, a Vito feature at Tangible Books, and a Beach Poets feature, all to share poetry from the CyberWit.net 2024 poetry book “The Universe is in Your Hands” — that I *hope* will be released & I’ll have copies of in time for the Chicago poetry scene!
