Default Rick Mullin at First Wed. Formal in Albany, CA

What a show Rick put on! He was weighted down by having to do two 25 minute sets, with open readers in between. He rocked the place! He read lots of new work, and gave us pieces of Soutine, Huncke, Stones Jones Cazones, and Coelacanth. David Rosenthal wrote and read a poem in response to Rick's "Spirit of 76". I hope Rick will post the videos. Rick read with Charlie Parker, and he danced across the stage. He is a great performer! It was a gift to have him out here reading from his wide body of work. You East Coast folks have a treasure in your midst!

I was so lucky to hang out with Rick at Palace of the Legion of Honor. We saw some great Impressionist works. I didn't need the audio tour. I had a buddy with me who knew all about pretty much every painting in the place. Big fun!

Thanks Rick for coming out and spending time with us!

Great report, Carol!

A poet dancing on a stage. That's what it's ALL about!

So happy for you all, that you got to experience this!!!

Oh, and I've had the same experience with Rick in an art museum. It's incredible, isn't it? A rare privilege.

And one last thing:

David Ahhhh,
you are a star.

Yes, so post the video, Rick. It's proof that you owned your audience.

David has created a wonderful West Coast showcase for poets.
