David Michael Nixon

This week at Blue Dahlia: David Michael Nixon!



And if you feel like you're experiencing a bit of deja vu reading this post ... you probably are. David was scheduled to read February 14th, but we cancelled that night due to the extreme weather. So, you get a second chance. Hope you can make it!

David Michael Nixon & Alex Dedicke

This week at Blue Dahlia: David Michael Nixon



David has a new chapbook out, so he'll be reading from that
(as well as having them available for sale, I think)
I know it's Valentine's Day and all, but what better way to celebrate than to come listen to poetry?

Open Mic: 8 - 10 pm at Blue Dahlia Coffee

And Thursday night "my goodest friend" - as my son calls him - Alex Dedicke



He says he some new stuff, so come out and see! Gee, I feel like I should title this post Long-Haired-Bearded-Men week! (By the way, I adore long haired bearded men & you should too!)
