My detailed review of exactly what's wrong with you, your dreary chopped-up-prose poems, and your mushmouthed delivery, Mushmouth.
> >> That you scribble unspeakable shit.
After all your obsessed slurping after me on my statement that I enjoyed Karla's poem, that's the best you can do... which leads to the posting of the revised version of "She Sleeps Tight", which you can show off your skills and give me a real critique, if you like. Anyone is welcome, as usual, of course:
'She Sleeps Tight", vocals by Will Dockery & Sandy Madaris, guitars by Brian Mallard. Paintings by George Sulzbach.

My detailed review of exactly what's wrong with you, your dreary chopped-up-prose poems
is based on you being just kinda green
and just kinda sad
and just kinda Duckry.

Based on me giving an honest critique... don't like it? Too bad, perhaps you should stop reading if it hurts you so much?

Will, I finally decided to torture myself enough to watch your lame-ass crappy YouTube videos. You look like you slept in a dumpster, you act like you're having a epileptic seizure and you sound like someone who just sucked someone off in the men's room less than five minutes ago. The fact that you try to make fun of how someone else sounds is fucking laughable and you will never know the irony of it because you are too self-absorbed to see anything but what you want to see. You will never amount to anything in life and you will be nothing more than a post-editing dipshit who needs a shave and a slap to the face.

i'm going to guess the reply to this diatribe:
"hey, thanks for watching. we just finished up another session and recorded it to put on youtube. the song's called "dancing mary sleeps tonight." here are the lyrics:"
(...)
my point is that maybe i can step in, here and there, and help out with the dockery obsessed.
She had an epiphany she wants to learn to fly. Took a sip of coffee from her favorite cup she knew then the time was to go up into the clouds swimming with the clouds. She wants to fly touch the sky.
She don't want sympathy she doesn't plan to die. Lifts off the ledge looking up tumbling in the wind like a Dixie Cup into the clouds swimming with the clouds. She wants to fly reach the sky.
She's flying in the air where she lands we do not dare to tell.
She's gripped in satori she's learned how to fly. She's skyclad now among the stars way up there, somewhere far. She's swimming now out among the clouds.
Words: Will Dockery Music: Geno Woolfolk & Henry Conley

Apologies to all, I may have misread this as a done deal and ready to go... it would be grand, though!
Just listened to his cover of "Motorcyle Irene" with the Bibb City Ramblers and I'm sure Skip would dig it.
Yes, in a shocking turn of events -the sudden closing of Sports Rock Cafe- we the people of Shadowville are down to two open mics, the classic version at The Loft on Wednesdays (where I was first coaxed onto the stage in 1995, 14 years ago, amazing to think that!) and BJ's all-ages open mic at Fountain City Coffee on Thursdays. Am I leaving any out? I plan to write a special column for October on the slightly spooky way the crashing economy is starting to hit us, and to rally the poets, artists, musicians and madmen of our village to get out and support the places that are/were giving us a forum to make our visions available to the public... we don't want to see another beloved venue follow that path. Feedback, quotable quotes, *ideas* on how to help turn this trend to defeat around appreciated.

Sure. Have them ban you for life, and never return, and perhaps the idea of you being gone will bring people back.
Maybe put one of those ankle bracelets on you that shocks you if you get too close or something. Lord knows you'd be too lazy and stupid to try to remove it.

I'm not surprised, you dense drunk. You really need to have life ban you from life. How about going for a face-down swim in the river, you dumbass? Just jump on in, aim for the rocks.

I lost a lot of venues over time. It's part of the business, even in the best of economic times. Even in the best of times, things don't work out as planned. Good times means increasing costs of staff, short term credit, beer. You will lose venues in even the best of times. Sometimes, they will just fire your open mike because someone said something impolitic.
If you have a show and want to keep a venue running, you have to keep it new. Not just at your own show but for the entire venue. I can't tell you how much work I did PRing not just my shows but the shows that were happening on every other day. People who come in for one show may like the atmosphere enough to come back for your show and vice versa. I used to work the crowds at every social event in town. From craft shows to the hoity toity art events. I visited every school. I tried to make myself (in an honest way) a reason to be covered in the media. You get to know every media person and you get them interested. They make their lives off covering story and getting advertising dollars. So it matters to them to have a steady supply of stories.
Keep it fresh. Try something new every few months. Theme months. New leadership. Free entry to performers only. More things to involve the audience. People like to watch, but they also like to feel like they are part of the show, like they are part of the in crowd. Have the audience team with performers to do improv? Stuff like that. Start a committee announced at the mike to figure out how to preserve open mikes and do pr. Sometimes people who can't perform like to volunteer behind the scenes.
Include more prizes, especially for silly things. Get bookstores eg to offer as a way to do pr. Or other stores.
That's a few things I did. If I went back and thought about all the possibilities, I could write a book. Above all make the business aspect fun and the audience will follow
