Press Release:
Visual artist seeks eccentric open-minded poet to whack ideas, metaphors and images back and forth in a unique game of intellectual tennis. With matching services enjoying a prime spot in today’s culture, it was only natural that the idea would occur to someone, somewhere. Why not offer a similar service to help creative types inspire one another?
Thus, the idea for Artworks and Poetwords was born. In a unique new exhibition, which promises to showcase the artistic/poetic process as much as the end products of their labors, 31 artists were randomly paired with 31 poets. Over a period of eight months, each artist-poet team has collaborated-without boundaries or guidelines—to see where it leads them. And best of all, almost all the teams were perfect strangers at the beginning of the project.
Each artist-poet pair was free to develop their own strategy for how to
collaborate. Which piece would come first, the art or the poem? Would it be possible to create simultaneously? Would two people who are so accustomed to working alone even be able to work together? Whose ideas or ego would prevail?
“We knew we were taking a risk—to take two creative personalities and tell them to work together in some way,” says Sherry Tulloch, artist and chairperson for the event, which is sponsored by the Rochester Art Club. “The response has been overwhelming. We thought we’d get five or six participants, never thirty-one.”
The artists are all members of Rochester Art Club, and the poets were invited from assorted poetry groups around Rochester. Themes of the poetry and artwork run the gamut, from the war in Iraq, to nature.

Sherry & Me
This Wednesday, March 14th at Blue Dahlia: Sherry!
One of our regulars at the Blue Dahlia Open Mic, since we started last year.
In all the hoopla, I failed to recognize that the Blue Dahlia Open Mic has been going on for a full year now. It was back in February of 2006 that Rick & Mike were our first features & though we've scaled down to only every 2nd and 4th Wednesday - we're still going strong. Hope you can come join us to hear Sherry's feature!
Blue Dahlia Open Mic, 8 - 10 pm
@ the Blue Dahlia Coffee House
92 South Main St. Canandaigua
And Thursday, March 15th, I will be the feature at the Pure Kona Open Mic.
You already know what I look like ... but in the spirit of Spring ... here's a picture of me hiding in the Pear Tree last Spring ...
Look at all that green! I can't wait for the leaves to return!
So, I've been working on something new & special for this feature. It falls in between the 14th anniversary of my son's death and the 8th anniversary of my mother's death, so there is an aspect of that ... I'm still working on it but I'm trying to incorporate some old and some new and thread it all together ... we'll see ... Well, if you're there, we'll see, if not I'll see ... Hopefully, I'll see you there!

New Year brings change ...
Well, the new year is bringing with it some changes in the Blue Dahlia schedule. I've got to focus more on making money somehow and getting this grant proposal written by Feb. 1st, so I've chiseled the Open Mic down to every 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month. So this month it will be on January 10th & 24th and I wish I could tell you who the features would be but since I was thinking I was going to not be able to do it at all after December, I haven't yet booked anyone for the new year.
This will also give anyone interested the opportunity to check out the Open Mic held at FLCC on the first Wednesday of the month (while school's in session) so there won't be one this week (here nor there) but starting in February, the Open Mic will be going at FLCC the first Wednesday and we will still have the Blue Dahlia Open Mic on the second and fourth Wednesday.
There will still be Pure Kona at Daily Perks in the city every Thursday for those of you looking to feed your poetry addiction. This week, January 4th, will be guitarist, sitarist Jack Edward Smith. And next week, January 11 will be Ed Downey. Two weeks of music to start the Open Mic off right!
Also, keep Januray 18th open as international activist John Sinclair from Amsterdam (and not the one in NY) will be featuring along with the musicians from Dream Engine. And the month will round off with Sir Norm of Davis as the January 25th feature.
Daily Perks is also undergoing a bit of a management shift and renovation and James has added lots of lively, luscious foods to the menu (I especially like the portabello mushroom & artichoke sandwich with a nice chai latte - yum!). You can check out what else is new there by clicking the title of this post ...
Hope y'all enjoyed your New Year's festivities & I will see you around town (in or out of it somewhere, somehow - I'm sure). Feliz Nuevo Anos!

Arianna & Michael Freeman
Since Arianna has the week off school, she will be our feature this week. Who knows what she'll read - could be part of the novel she's writing, could be some of her anti-bush poems or her picking-on-Norm poems, or some new poems none of us have ever heard ... I'm her mother and I don't even know!
My Star Model!
I do think she's trying to get some of her classmates to show up. Hopefully nothing we say will shock any of her friend's parents into keeping their children from hanging out with her ... but ... we'll see.
And Thursday, December 28 features Michael Freeman - also home for the holidays - can't miss that one! I certainly won't - Kona hasn't been the same without his lengthy, luscious diatribes and regal rhythms...

Blue Dahlia Open Mic & Art Show
There will be an Open Mic at Blue Dahlia this week on the eve of turkey day ... there will not be Pure Kona, as it actually is turkey day on thursday ...
I went back and forth on this one, so I didn’t actually book anyone … which means, if you come down you get to hear me read for a while and then I’ll pass the metaphorical mic around (since any of you who have been out this way know, we don’t have a literal mic … unless you count Mike Rae!)
Also, my art show is still on display. So, if you didn’t get a chance to come down for Art Walk and were interested in seeing some of my work, now’s a good time to do it! Hope to see you Wednesday … 8 pm (at Blue Dahlia Coffee House, 92 South Main Street, Canandaigua). Oh, and if you like sweet drinks (like you know I do) try the Casablanca … it’s sooooo good!
Here’s a pic of the art on display:
I know … now you’ve seen it … but it’s better in person … so come down if you can.
Hope to see you there!

Matt Shackelford & Ian Downey
You know that guy singing on my MySpace page? Ian Downey of the notorious Ian Downey is Famous variety? He's featuring this week at Pure Kona! That's right, if you come one down to Daily Perks Thursday night at 8, you get to see him! Maybe he'll even do some standing bits like he did for Blue Dahlia ... like so:
Speaking of Blue Dahlia ... it's worth the drive out to the shady streets of Canandaigua to see the likes of Matt Shackelford. I swear you won't regret it ... this man can twist some lines and conceptualize some pretty esoteric notions all while standing on his head! I've seen him do it! So, I don't know if he'll necessarily be standing on his head this time (that was a special occasion: hugest protest I eva' been to!) but he will still impress you with his poetry, fo' sho' ... 7:30 ish pm Wednesday, November 1 at Blue Dahlia Coffee House in Canandaigua.
You can check out Ian at: http://www.myspace.com/iandowneyisfamous
And Matt at: http://www.myspace.com/rockumental
Go ahead, check them out! If you are so inclined, that is ...
There are alos MySpace Group Pages for both Pure Kona @ Blue Dahlia - so if you're on, join up! That is, also, if you are so inclined ...

What a week!
This week's feature at Blue Dahlia will be BADEA (formerly Bill & Djed's Excellent Adventure) who gave us a fabulous finale to the poetic portion of our Poetry Festival this year. It seems they are never the same combo twice, but there's always a nice blend of drums, guitar, voice, and other percussion.
Djed's told me to tell you all to bring a drum with you this week, as they'd like to make a drum circle part of their feature ... how fabulous is that? Pretty fabulous, I know ... at least I think so!
Blue Dahlia Coffe
92 South Main Street
Canandaigua
7:30 (ish) - 10 pm
Caution: these guys are likely to start on time, so if you don't want to miss a thing - hurry down ...
And Thursday at Pure Kona Open Mic: MJ Iuppa, who not only happens to be one of my favorite poets, but also one of my favorite people! Whatever you do ... you don't want to miss her!
Daily Perks Coffee House
369 Gregory Street
Rochester - this one really is more 8 - 10 pm ...
Hope to see you there!
