Hey... I'll be in San Francisco on April 17th and in Santa Cruz the 19th to play (I think) John Ashbery in the play Kevin Killian and I wrote together called The American Objectivists, nominated for five Wedgies in 2001 by the New York Theatre Critics Cockettes Circle. K. Silem Mohammed is playing Louis Zukofsky, and Kevin Killian is playing Celia, Louis' wife (who has a crush on John). Be there or be a square French teacher at Brooklyn Community College.
