I’ll be performing tonight evening at a free event in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and I want to make sure that you all know about it.
The Fayetteville Underground Art Gallery in Fayetteville Square has long hosted Last Saturday, a monthly showcase of local poetry and music.
This Saturday, March 26th, Last Saturday presents Dougapalooza, a free benefit show in support of Last Saturday’s friend and mine, poet Doug Shields.
I met Doug in 1997 when we were both barely legal. Doug has always been supportive of other’s works and acts of expression, and he’s recently recovered from a pretty gnarly bicycle accident. I’m joining the Last Saturday crew at their request, to help collect donations to go toward Doug’s remaining hospital bills and expenses.
Many of you know that I had my own unexpected hospital stay in late 2008/early 2009. I couldn’t say no to this, having been exactly where Doug is now.
If you’re in town, I hope you’ll join us.
Both Last Saturday and the Gallery bar will collect as much money for Doug as we can. There is no cover charge, but all donations collected will go back to Doug.
