Ruckus turns terrible two

What a long strange trip it's been putting on these Poetry Ruckuses for the last two years at Ducky Waddle's. I have so many new friends, poems and experiences to be grateful for. I hope that you can join us this Wednesday October 26th to celebrate the Ruckus the same way it started: in Halloween costumes!!!

If you're not the dressing up type, please join us anyway. Doors at 7 PM, reading by 7:15 and our most excellent guest Jared A Muscat by 9 PM. Jared is a neo organic beatnik surf bum activist poet whose flavorful words have graced the Ruckus since before it was the Ruckus.

If you want to rea for about 5 minutes, please RSVP to ruthlesshippies@gmail.com. If I don't hear from you, there will probably still be room.

other stuff:

-We are well past deadline on Da Ruckus vol II submissions and only one person has submitted. I may have forgot to mention that this time around we are in the process of teaming up with a real publishing company and will have a nice looking book of Ruckus poets with original artwork. Either way it will not look like a spiral notebook or have staples this time around. October first is the new deadline, and you submit by sending me one o two original poems no longer than one page in length: ruthlesshippies@gmail.com

-WORD on the 3d Monday of every month, so 9/19 is the next poetry at E-Street cafe hosted by Mr. Dylan Barmmer.

Edwin Decker Returns to the Ruckus!

Hello Ruckaholics. Edwin Decker was the first ever Ducky Waddle's Poetry Ruckus guest when we started this thing nearly two years gone by now. I am so stoked to have him back again, and you should be too! Ed's poems, essays and opinion columns are as ruthlessly funny and intelligent as they come. Read his latest Sordid Tales column here to get an idea of what you're in for.
