Last night, Elaine Equi/Jerome Sala at Vincent Katz’s DIA series — love and sass and life in a spreadsheet. Then Great Party out at Phong Bui’s BROOKLYN RAIL pad. Night before, Cecilia Vicuna had a sophisticated populist salon at her and Jim’s, introducing two Chilean conceptual sound poets, Martín Gubbins and Felipe Cussen. I love their work, and this photo, it works too! for their reading tomorrow night. Tonight: dining with Urbana Slammaster Jeanann Verlee and Ian Khadan — will be excoriated for the changes at Bowery Poetry Club. Awesomest! Hey, this is NYC!
