Day 45: Las Vegas UPDATE! More from Las Vegas! **** I want to hear Elvis sing one more time so I keep pressing this button. I believe Elvis sees into my soul and he sees I am on a fundamental leval a loser so he gives me nothing, only takes more and more numbers from my tally on the screen. Noodly doodly ding ding! From the monumental awe of Roden Crater to the flimsy sugar high of a Las Vegas casino, we&;ve had an intense 24 hours, in no small part because of readings like Eileen Myles&; below. All of Las Vegas is not like this, but this is what we see when we come to read at the Brooklyn Room of the New York New York Casino. A strangely charged reading, with some of the most intense performances we&;ve had yet, with one particularly loud heckler and a man telling me I&;m sexy afterwards as I stand at the urinal. Really? Elvis doesn&;t think so. 090.jpg 091.jpg 092.jpg 089.jpg

too bad it you didn&;t read at Excalibur, i&;m sure you all had some good medieval poems you could&;ve whipped out for the occasion (you got off easy with ny). thanks for coming to LV.
