Dear Mr. Barnes, Please Don't Hate Us

As all of you know, I am now a poetry junkie. Yes, I admit it, I go monthly or bi-monthly to open mic poetry readings. I don't go up and read, because, well I don't write poetry, but I enjoy it very much!

Barnes and Noble hosts a poetry reading each month. Well this month we [me and the honey] went, and it was fantastic they had a guest reader, which means he was an actually successful poet, with books and all. He was ah-ma-zing! I really loved getting to "know him" if you know what I mean.

After it ended, I decided I wanted to hang out [like always] and then take some pictures, because I took some really nice pics of the honey last time we were there. We were looking at some books, and I found a really big book of naked models, so I had to sit down and look through the whole thing and as soon as he noticed what I was looking at, he plopped himself into the floor, right besides me. And here comes the witch a nice lady comes out of a little secret-employee door, and tells us that we can't sit there because other people can't see the books. Which is totally understandable, except there wasn't ANYBODY ELSE in that whole naked models artsy area. We just smiled and finished with the book.

We then proceeded to take the pics, so that we could go home. We took some pics, I hate most of them, but the point is that the same bitch nice lady comes out of NOWHERE and then proceeds to tell the honey that he can't take pictures inside of Barnes and Noble because of the copyrights of the books! WTF? WTF? WTF? Just so you know he was taking pictures of ME, and ME only, like walking around and stuff, not like he was being a creep just snapping pictures of bookshelves.

Ok, so maybe I was holding books and stuff, but whatever!!!

The Ugly Mug

This is one of those posts, that you're supposed to write but never do, or take a really long time writing. Well, this is the type that took a long time writing, not because I've been writing it, just because I couldn't get around to it.

I went to The Ugly Mug before I went to the concert, and I already blogged about that. a lot. The story starts like this. I'm at Barnes & Noble with the honey, and we see this message about some open mic poetry reading thing, and we're both like ok, sounds cool, and it's free, so we're there!

Went there, loved it, it was amazing, the most magical thing EVER, and not so much the poetry although that was amazing too, but the location...*sigh* simply breathtaking, I didn't even took pictures because I didn't want to miss a second of it, [also, didn't want to look like a freak].

At the end, everybody was taking about how the next "local" reading was at the ugly mug and how cool the place was and being the crazy couple we are [ok, not really but that sounds cool] we grabbed the little itinerary they had there for stalkers people like us, and put it on our calendar.

WOW! I had never been in a city like that one before. I wanted to move right that instant. Everything was vintage. We didn't know if the place we were headed to was a bar, or a restaurant, or a coffee shop perhaps?..It was a coffee shop. It wasn't as good a poetry reading as the one at Barnes & Noble, it wasn't free, the coffee was OVERPRICED, but it was amazing, does that make me crazy? Yes Probably. Here are the pics.

 

This was at Barnes & Noble when 

we decided to become open.mic.poetry.reading.freaks.

This is the honey at the Ugly Mug. 

[Everything looked like this, isn't that cool].

Isn't it really unfair that I'm not in ANY of the pictures?!?!?! I'm suing somebody, LOL joking!
