Hey Gondu fans! If you want to see me speak my word this spring, all you gotta do is hit Blue State Coffee on Thayer Street in Providence, Rhode Island, on May 15!
Peace - HG

Hey All!
I recently spent a couple of weeks jumping into the New York City cabaret scene. I need to give shout-out's to Jim Caruso, Rick Hinkson and Gianni Valenti at Birdland. I need to give a shout out to Jenna Esposito and the MetroJam Band at Don't Tell Mama.
Also super big love to Katie Kearns and Ruby Rakos, who are totally fabulous people for whom I only have mad love and respect. They made my time in NYC delightful!
Peace and Love to All of the Above!

Hey All!
First, I have been making some new friends during New England poetry nights and I want to say hey to 'em...
Word to Megan Thoma and Astrid Drew from Providence Poetry Slam at AS220! Word to Jay Walker, Ryk McIntyre, and Christian Latson from MondaySLAM @ The Spot Underground! Word to Rich, Yunus, Pat, T.L. Anderson, Element 615, and all of the other fine artists to hit the stage!
In other news, "Sweet Nothing" is online. Search Howie Gondu at your favorite online music retailer. I only made 17 CD's, for a few specific people who helped move the project along. It's time to let go of CDs. They are wasteful landfill. Their packaging takes up space and ends up discarded or in a box somewhere.
What do you think? Drop me a line at hg@howiegondu.com!

I recently hit the stage at Metropolitan Room in NYC during the MetroJam open mic...!
