Tour Collage: Baton Rouge/Texas

watched the L Word at a house party with every lesbian in baton rouge! ha! can't believe shane cheated on fine-ass carmen in truely the best most erotic sex scene i've ever seen...ever...tequila was the best show in the south so far...hosted by baton rouge slam master chancellor "xero" skidmore" who calls me mamanatrix because, as he says, i am both nurturing and bossy as hell (the capricorn in me)...good times...austin amazing...so much love...suzy lafolette hosted me and took me to the biggest whole foods market on the planet, where i wandered around in a daze (so much organic food: so little time!) until she rescued me and brought me back to her house... and even though her and her girl were HATING ON CARMEN (who i LOVE) i still respect them :0) ...back next wednesday...houston was absolutely kuh-razy!...invited by marcel murphy of the blackout arts collective and in the cipher before the show there was a group of about 40 folk, over half black men, and 90 percent of them (the men) were arguing that polygamy will be the salvation of the balck nation...i didn't even have an argument prepared...i mean, what do you say to that?...and there was one man (i would call him by name if i remembered it...he's the slam master, i think, for the houston slam) who very seriously opined that woman was only good for her uterus and to cook his food...they all walked out during my third piece, "for bashir"... the women, however, loved me...marcel was the only bruh defending my views (the women were absolutely silent) and they told him to gwan back to seattle with me...it would be funny if it were a cartoon or something...but it was real...on my way into corpus christi the sun was this huge flourescent circle of orange and pink and purple, like the suns you see in movies about the african savanna except, it shone from behind a veil of smoke from the oil refineries that line the highway... about to go fly kites on the beach with stephan...we are both ex-buddhists except, he is a philosopher and so, last night, we had to discuss the one million reasons why buddhism, as a philosophy, doesn't work for us...very funny...my show in corpus isn't until monday night, so i have a couple of days to just hang out...this is hard work...i feel like a travelling monk...more later...cbell
