We have future from Flint featuring for the November show, and he is really more than enough poet for your 5 bucks, but we have more. The one called Almighty Ray will giving us his farewell performance, as he is moving to the City of Angeles to pursue his acting career. Holder of the title: “The Worst Poet in Ann Arbor” in previous years, Ray is known such pieces as Big Fat Cat and Pepper Steak. I say “known” when I could say “reviled”. Ray’s style is at once hilarious and horrifying. He has filled a void here in Ann Arbor left when we lost Hoppa the Hip Hop Molester. Who will fill the void left when Ray is gone ? Who could fill the shoes of a man like Ray ?

In reality, I’ll miss Ray. He is funny even when he is sober, though that is rare. Ann Arbor will not see his like again, I think, and we are worse for it. Come see his Farewell show November 1st, and wish him well.
