Great to see around DC again, had a great time hanging out with you on Saturday and Sunday. Like scratch, the poetry thingy was a great chnace to know some of the other "non-clubbing" side of everyone.

Hope to see you in town for D:Fuse...I swear, D:Fuse is going to get a restraining order against you and malanee

hi A1! it was awesome to meet you! i don't think i've ever danced so much and hard on a saturday! i think i went for like five hours straight and i wasn't even but you should definitely come down for D:Fuse, so we can do this again!

the poetry reading was really-really good and was a chance to meet other cp folk i didn't know yet - (Scratch! how you doin?) - not to mention Vic's dessert! Vic, you should cook for us more often! we'll i guess i'll see everyone soon again. better!

I'm with malanee on this, shifter, your poems were great, they say that through poetry you can see to someone's soul and those poems were just amazing.

Which reminds me, I have to sned A1 a couple, possibly from Octavio Paz, my favorite writer.

thanks vic and malanee, again. you know, vic... the preface to my book is a quote from Paz's 'El Laberinto de la Soledad'. glad we have something more in common, should make partying even better!

'Self -discovery is above all the realization that we are alone:
It is the opening of an impalpable, transparent wall---- that of our consciousness----- between the
world and ourselves. It is true that we sense our aloneness almost as soon as we are born, but
children and adults can transcend their solitude and forget themselves in games or work. The
adolescent, however, vacillates between infancy and youth, halting for a moment before the
infinite richness of the world.
He is astonished at the fact of his being, and this astonishment leads to reflection:
As he leans over the river of his consciousness, he asks himself if the face that appears there,
disfigured by the water, is his own....

wow

yeah, i've read that book 3 times already, definitely the best one i have ever read. intersting thing that he wrote it when he lived in DC.

Have you ever checked some of the events at the Mexican Cultural Institute? A couple of years ago they had a simposium on Octavio Paz and I had the opportunity to meet Carlos Fuentes, another of my favorites.
