Back in 1991 when Plazm first launched Walt Curtis was an early supporter bringing myself, Neva Knott, Patrick Bardel, and Rueben Nisenfeld on to his KBOO radio program The Talking Earth. A few years later Carl Hanni did a great interview with Walt which we featured in Plazm #3. That was posted on our web site not too long ago.
Walt lost everything in a catastrophic fire May 2 which also destroyed the Great NW Bookstore. His 69th birthday is on the Fourth of July… You can come celebrate Walt and help him get back on his feet. $10 cover. Additional donations by check, credit card, or paypal can be arranged that evening.
An exciting evening of spoken word performances by top Portland poets and writers, including Tom Spanbauer, Oregon Poet Laureate Paulann Petersen, and others, live jazz by Nancy King and Glen Moore, DJs and surprises. This is a benefit for poet/painter Walt Curtis, author of Mala Noche, which became Gus Van Sant’s first film.
Apparently the event will also be filmed.
