Houstonites! I am doing a collaborative performance with Lucas Gorham and David Feil in the Counter Crawl III festival this Saturday. Lucas and David are improvising deconstructed steel guitar and I'm live-remixing text from a book-length project, called Ford Us Over. The poetry and prose I'm remixing is thinking about crossing rivers in Texas, how science names landscapes, how language can be refigured as plant life and rocks. Better just come and experience it!
We're performing at the Mystery Spot at 4pm-ish. You can either bike along with the Counter Crawl crew or email or call me for the Mystery Spot location. Here are details I copied from the Alter Audio site about the whole, all-day, multi-venue festival:

Counter Crawl is a quarterly, roving, art festival which takes place at different underground, off-the-beaten-path type spaces where cool people are doing cool stuff. The point is to showcase emerging talents as well as community- and sustainability-minded initiatives. The first Counter Crawl took place on July 9th of last year, and the second was on October 8th. They were both pretty awesome, with over 100 participants each time, and this one is going to be the best yet!
