Although I have heard from several individuals indicating they did their part for Guerrilla Poetry Day, yesterday, I am personally disappointed that leg cramps kept me from completing my personal goal (although the three performances I did give in Virginia and Washington, DC, were pretty cool).
Dan McTaggart and I are discussing the next GPD, and some plans to organize and expand on it.
More later.
Thanks to all who joined in!!

The Day's Dispatches....part 1
Have word from a few friends overseas (and a few hardy souls who stayed up late enough last night to make it into this morning) of their exploits for Guerrilla Poetry Day. Bravo and Brava, all around.
I headed out this morning, having made some last minute changes to my itinerary and splitting it into two "waves".
Read "couplet/passion" to the order-taker at the McDonalds in Sterling, Virginia. I think she was confused.
Did "goblins in my attic" and "My Electric Lady" in front of the American Psychological Association building in Washington, DC. A street person yelled at me, something about Jesus.
Then, made a ride up to Embassy Row to do "Queen Protea" in front of the South African Embassy.
Later today, more madness. Madness? This is Poetry!

The Day Arrives
Already have received a few dispatches from the fronts...not expecting many, but gratified, nonetheless.

using Metro to get around
It hit me yesterday that I was not taking into account the Washington, DC, area Metrorail for shuttling me between Guerrilla Poetry hits. That changed today as I went over schedules.
I will use the system for a few pin-point targeting moves in DC, Virginia and Maryland, and don't be surprised if I show up near or at key monuments, including Arlington National Cemetary ("Our Children Lie at Arlington" would be a good read there). I will still go wheels for Pennsylvania (near Gettyburg) and West Virginia (near Harpers Ferry, perhaps?)
This is just starting to get good...adrenaline up about 30%. Testosterone...you don't want to know.
