Where Desperation LingersI just got home.
For the second time in two attempts I didn’t perform at the O’Debra twins Monday night open mic at Bowery Poetry Club. I threw my name in the hat and waited for my name to be called. I was FORTY-THIRD. This put me at #20 on the dreaded reserve list, which meant a demotion to a four minute set and (more than likely) no set at all, since the show closes at 2:30AM. I decided to hang around this time to no avail. Rob Apuzzo tried to do me a solid by offering to give his slot to me but the show ended right before Rob’s slot.
So, seriously, when does the money and adulation start?
