a bottle of wine and a stray forty dollars

WRITERS
workshops merged monday night for one extravagant and productive night of drinking. 2 poets + 5 fiction writers = $307 bar tab. the facts are that simple folks. other theories considered monday night as follows: doing a shitlaod of heroin does not make you an alcholic, you will not be taken to jail for yelling on the sidewalk of 6th ave., if you have a friend who owns a bar and you also have a lost debit card you may be able to manage to aquire $40 from the bar register to spend at the bar.
other news... after 6 bottles of wine and about 8 beers a groups of seven can forget where they are, directions to the next bar and that they have a girlfriend in South Africa. poetry is useless but harder to write than prose.

CONGRATS TO THE FOOT: THE LONG AWAITED APPEARANCE
the foot will be making its first appearance since the notorious CWP 04 started in September. foot, welcome back to the world. we are happy to have you.

ELECTION
the election will not be addressed in this blog. for those of you outside the blubbery bubble of New York, we are all in one piece however some are trying to convince themselves otherwise.

ZACH BRAFF
after the fiascos in dating, LisaBot's field reporter who will remain unmentioned, reserves a permanent opening fridat night ("date night") for Zach Braff. however this reservation will be revoked if the soudtrack of Garden State was chosen by someone else. our research staff is on a smoke break and those kinds of statistics are unavailable to us at this time. please put the word out.

ONE FOR THE ROAD
to the most passionate lover of poetry: after great deliberation here in the enormous and complicated offices of LisaBot, the verdict is that you are right. poetry. poetry changes the world as much as anything else and we agree that if a person can not understand that, that is indeed their own problem.
