I went to the Dunkin' Donuts i worked at in 91, the 1st house i grew up in, a porno shop, a crematorium, and the Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

This hasn't been mentioned (i think) so here you go. "A poet once said..." No shit, really?

I haven't been on here a lot this year but that's because it's been such a busy & good year. Love this site & the folks that gather here. Happy new years? Who knows, right? It is a crap shoot. Thanks for everything. Be safe, have fun, take a cab. See youse next year kids.

Saw this in Target today. Huh.

Seth Meyers & Ina Garten. Cool combo

Just discovered this guy Galway Kinnell. I don't know much about him except a brief scan on the interwebs. What are some opinions around here, if any, on his writing? I like what I've seen so far. http://galwaykinnell.com/

Bukowski Tavern Boston is a thing as, i assume, most of you already know. I'd like to hear what what folks here think about the swag BTB is offering. I say no thank you but i find it rather amusing. But then again, i am a dork & if i come upon an old racetrack t-shirt i might purchase it. Now...

New Neeli book http://www.citylights.com/info/?fa=event&event_id=3143

Found out that the audio for Tales of Ordinary Madness is up for an award, an Audie. Hmm. I learn something new every day.

I grew up an athlete in a family of athletes and sure it was good times. My folks were also hippies so it wasn't all false machismo. There was also weed & music. Anyway, the Eagles won the Superbowl and although I no longer follow most sports closely I did watch the game & it was awesome, maybe...

From the bookface's Charles Bukowski Society: Provokationen in Briefform

Yet another "Buk" bar going down due to gentrification. There's a link to a 12 min doc on the making of "Barfly" in there too. The Smog Cutter is the latest Los Angeles bar to fall to gentrification, after nearly 30 years in operation.

Well, the Bukowski Tavern aka "a dive bar in Boston" has, on the bookface, made a request for "fans" & patrons to design a sticker for their establishment. Anybody here wanna take a swing? On the one hand, who gives a shit? On the other hand it's kind of funny, the idea of doing one. Would that...

Here's his residence in Fairmount in Philly in 1947, 2020 Mt Vernon. Yes, i'm a dork. My comedian son took the pic and said it came out fine.

Well who knew? Not I. Yikes. A combination of two of the oldest professions in the world. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/28/adjunct-professors-homeless-sex-work-academia-poverty

R.I.P Grant Hart. mjp, Did u ere meet this guy or actually know him? In all our discussion about the Minneapolis "scene" we never once mentioned the DU.

This is rhetorical. All around here seem to know better by now. Why does this quote continue to go around? Found this on the fb page "Charles Bukowski Fans". Ugh.

Nash of CSNY fame is selling off his rare R. Crumb comix. http://dangerousminds.net/comments/graham_nash_is_auctioning_his_r._crumb_originals_including_a_cover_for_the

So what's this thing I found on ebay? Am I missled? Is it actually collected somewhere? It's a monthly thing from Black Sparrow featuring one of their writers per issue. This is SPARROW 5 While The Music Played by Charles Bukowski from February 1973. The post says poetry is in it but not what...

So this is kind of funny. I couldn't say if it's true but it seems someone actually did a study on this. http://www.iflscience.com/brain/bookworms-are-nicer-kinder-and-more-empathetic-people-according-to-new-study/

Maybe admin can move this if i've put it in the wrong spot or if there's already a thread somewhere that i've missed. Anyway... just listened to the 99% Invisible podcast and specifically The Architect of Hollywood episode about one of the first greatest black architects in America. Paul R...

Went there yesterday. Haven't been there since the late 70's. It opened in 1976 so it was a requirement for pretty much all grade schools to class trip there. Pretty cool. Wow, printing was a labor intensive process back in 1725(?) when Ben started. Also, the hole is the, supposedly, first...
