Konnichiwa!

1. ok...I've discovered that 4 of the wwcalumni crew have myspace pages. (Matt Buk makes a fine princess leia, by the way...I know you're intrigued if you haven't seen it by now.) I know more of you are probably out there. Mine's lame, but it's there. Share them here. www.myspace.com/konzach

2. What's about to follow is a diabolical use of this board in an effort to trick you into thinking you're reading something interesting...but it's more or less a commercial for me n' me poetry slam friends who are doing a radio show appearance on Saturday. Thought I'd share...

In an effort to spread the good word of slam poetry, members of the team that represented Pugsley's Library in Dallas this past year are scheduled to appear on the Wild Ass Circus hosted by Big Dick Hunter on Saturday, January 27. Scheduled to appear are Bob "Whoopeecat" Stephenson, Amy Weaver, Colin Gilbert and "Konnichiwa" Zach Schrotter. We'll also be joined by Jamie Kilstein-on tour from NYC.

We're promoting The Poetry Grind, our open mic and slam held 1st & 3rd n' 5th Wednesday. of every month at Pugsley's Library in Dallas (I-35 & Walnut Hill at Composite). The inmate's running the asylum as I host solo on Jan 31st...then Feb 7th, Jamie Kilstein's our feature-he's an acclaimed poet touring the country,and worth the drive to Dallas...and Feb 21st, your all-city 2006 Dallas slam champion Colin Gilbert will have his belated fundraiser for his trip to Vancouver to represent Pugsley's at the Individual World Poetry Slam.

The radio show airs in Dallas, TX on KLLI 105.3 FM from 7pm-9pm, and will be streaming live on http://1053freefm.com. Can't catch the show live? Go to bigdickhunter.net and check for the podcast that you'll be able to download after the show airs. Tune us in!

Sorry bout that...but that's what's happening in my world. Working on formatting wedding pics to put up on the site. Love to y'all.
