Festival organizers Daniel García Ordaz, a.k.a. the Poet Mariachi, and Brenda are pleased to announce the dates for the 2009 Rio Grandé Valley International Poetry Festival.
The Festival will be held from April 23 to 26, 2009. As yet, many details are not yet settled, but the dates are. And the organizers have pledged to work with the Austin International Poetry Festival, held the previous week, to coordinate visiting poets and audience. So look for more exciting talent coming to a venue near you!

I can’t believe I’m the first to submit a comment. Permit me to do it in the form of a poem I started yesterday and finished this morning during breakfast at McDonalds (Their coffee is cheaper than Starbucks and just as good). Note: This poem is meant to be read aloud only if the audience can read along. It doesn’t make sense when you don’t see the words. The poem is entitled, Funny U.
A yew’s not a sheep
And a ewe’s not a tree,
Yoo’s not a word
And you are not me.
No, yoo’s not a word
Unless you add hoo.
Yoo hoo! Yes you. Listen to this:
Regarding the U,
There’s something amiss.
If you double the U
You’ve still got one letter.
Triple the dubya
And it gets even better:
a piece of a thing
Called “My Name is URL’
A key to the web’
An eye on the world.
Or take those three dubyas
And heckle the chief:
Dubya, Dubya, Dubya,
Your time is so brief.
And if sixU’s are many
Just take half of two,
And remind all your loved ones…
I can’t do without U.

Now two.
This is a very classy set of events. I always look forward to the Poetry Pachanga that follows. Daniel’s singing of American Pie last year was powerful. I’m glad I could be a part VIPF. If you missed it, you missed it, and if you didn’t miss it – DAMN! Keep it up Daniel and Brenda. Encore.
