I was recently a guest on The State of Affairs on NPR affiliate WFPL. If you missed it, you can check out the radio show  by clicking here. It’s a very interesting chat with the host and author Karen Abbott about the history and art of Burlesque.

This is a pretty busy week!

Va Va Valentine starts tomorrow! If you’re a fan of Burlesque, these Louisville ladies will keep you on the edge of your seats.  I’m honored to open the show with my piece “Letter from Goddess to Man”. You can buy tickets ahead of time by clicking here

Monday is Sub Rosa: The Gypsie Courtyard at Zazoo’s Bar and Grille.

Wednesday, I am speaking to a class at Jefferson Community College and then headed over to Howl at the Moon on Fourth Street Live!

Rocky Horror Picture Show party at Howl at the Moon is this Wednesday from 9 pm – 11 pm. I have a $50 gift card for the person who shows up before 8:45 with the most people in tow. Come on down for this awesome costume contest, easter egg hunt, games and see if you can stump the pianists and win prizes, hosted by Divinity Rose and the Va Va Vixens. Come meet and mingle with some of Louisville’s favorite entertainers! Say you are with me at the door to get in for free, eat at the buffet for free and get half price drinks! You will get a card that will allow you to come back with no cover and receive half price drinks at any time. A special treat from me and Howl to you!

Then Va Va Valentine again next weekend!

In addition to all that, I begin recording a new track Wednesday in preparation for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Louisville, Ky. If you’ve never been, you’ve missed out! I love it! The streets are absolutely packed! The parade lasts for hours and everyone throws down and has a great time!! Even after the parade, Bardstown Rd businesses and bars stay busy well into the evening.  CUTE IRISH BOYS (and girls) everywhere! I’ll be calling all the magical people, performing live in the parade. Don’t miss it!  Better yet, show up as a magical creature and be ready to cheer for our float!! Faeries, gnomes, goblins, and more welcome!! If you’d like to be in the parade with me, let me know (costume required)!

I hope you’re all doing well. Valentines Day approaches,  and I will be in Louisville at Sub Rosa that night. I hope to see you then. Whether or not we can be together, I hope you’ll join me in being the best lovers we can be to everyone around us.  I hope to have some E-cards again this year that you can share with others.  You are my beautiful and magical lovers after all, and I know I can count on you to go forth and spread the love to EVERYONE around you. Why keep it monogamous? Our love is far too great to be greedy. The more the merrier.  See you then <3

According to his website, their music group specializes in shamanic Electronic music.

Imagine my honor and shock when I accidentally found by a bizarre chain of online clicks that he featured a snippet from  some of my poetry in one recently.

Turns out he had emailed me about it, but it got lost in the inter-ether ..but all that matters is that the message made it through and I found it and can now share it with you. Funny how we communicate to each other that way, eh?

You can read the entire poem The Trail over on the Diaries of a Godling Blog here.

I find his work absolutely intriguing and can feel it from all the way across the country.
