To Do: Poetry, Adult Contemporary, Lounge, and Money Down

Tonight hear the poetry of Martin Espada, the "Latino poet of his generation." MartâÃ?â? ¡âââ?¬Â°Ã? n Espada has published seven collections of poetry including the most recent Alabanza: New and Selected Poems. Much of his writing arises from his Puerto Rican heritage and his work experiences, ranging from bouncer to tenant lawyer. Read the Bee write up on Martin.

Check out some Adult Contemporary music with Bonnie Hayes and Phil Roy. Hayes has written hits for the likes of Bonnie Raitt, while Roy penned songs for musicians ranging from Ray Charles to Widespread Panic.

Lounge around at Citron, with downtempo beats by Lorraine Contreras. Or don't lounge: Pigeon John, the Argyle Pimps and Money Down do Big Game.

And if you're feeling nerdy, stay home and install Linux.

More details over yonder...
