It's time to get my crew together and hit the streets Guerrilla style! I neeed at least five six people for the crew who can blast through a set at an open mic and make the room their own.  I also need street team volunteers to help plaster the Madison are to warn everybody that "We're Coming Guerrilla Style and I'm King Kong Knocking Down The Fucking Doors!"

I was curious if anybody would be interested in joining a "Guerrilla Poetry Crew".  Here's the basic idea:

1. Meet once a month on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon
2. Pick an area of the city with plenty of indie coffee shops, book and record stores, etc to head to
3. As a group, go in and ask the owner/manager if we can do an unannounced open mic
4. Set up and read to everyone, no one, or each other for that matter

There's Guerrilla groups in larger cities like Chicago and Milwaukee and they're actually getting A LOT of press.

As long as we do it respectful, the businesses will get as much out of it as we will.  Businesses in the other cities are using it as advertisement: "Where Will They Be Next?!"

I think this will be a great time, so if you're interested you can comment here, email me direct (johnnysdad@live.com) or come down to the Edgerton Book Festival's Book Fair on Saturday, October 23 from 10am-4pm and chat with me.
