The New York Times is Stalking Me

At left is a photo I took of Leonard Cohen and his backup singers from my orchestra seat at the Beacon Theatre. (Cell phone pic taken due to dead batteries in digital camera) Not surprisingly, the New York Times was also on hand to cover this historic concert:

Here's another cell phone pic that I took the following weekend while attending the 12th Annual Fisher Poets Gathering in Astoria, OR. This event features exactly what its title suggests, fishermen and women, who are also poets, gather in various venues around Astoria to read their poetry. This is a one of a kind event that I highhly recommend taking in if you get the chance. But you better hurry. Since they apparently have nothing better to do than to follow me around, the New York Times decided to write an article about the Fisher Poets, too:

So you'll probably be seeing quite a few more people at the Fisher Poets' Gathering next year. This is all to the good, because Astoria is a cool town, and the Fisher Poets event does much to stimulate the local economy. But let the record reflect that the Times doesn't mention the clam fritters.
