My blue variant of Guest Book: The Mixtape just went out to the post office today! If you grabbed one, you *should* have it by next week, Lord-willing. If you still want a copy of the cassette, head over to Fire Truck Records' Bandcamp, buy one of their digital releases, and they'll send you a copy of their red variant (while supplies last)!

🎥 Amanda & I's film for "The Facts" is playing at the end of this month at The Institute for Experimental Arts' 10th International Video Poetry Festival in Athens, Greece. We are so grateful to type out such an insanely cool sentence. Thanks so much to the fest for giving our film a place & all our Patreon supporters for financing our entrance fee 🙏 We hope we can make the fest in another year, but, if you happen to be in the area this year, consider stopping by 💚

🙌 Ya'll are so kind! My blue variants of the new Guest Book: The Mixtape got claimed up after just 4 hours of being out! Fire Truck Records still has some of the red variants. Each one comes with instructions for making these two original cocktails I designed for the release, one alcoholic and one zero proof! Just head to the link below, buy any digital release from the Fire Truck Records bandcamp, and get one of these for free as a gift in the mail! 🙌

🚒🚒 NEW RELEASE 🚒🚒

.

WOO. We have been sitting on these for a bit, and I am SO excited for them to be out in the world. My very sweet friends Sal & Andrew of Elephant Jake have a record label called Fire Truck Records, and we are partnering up to release Guest Book: The Mixtape. This tape collects all of the songs I've written features for over the last 12 years of being a poet, so you'll hear everything from melodic hardcore and metal to ambient and electronic, all with me doing features throughout. This is the first time all these tracks have lived together as full songs (rather than just as my parts transcribed in the book Guest Book). The release is physical only and limited to 25 copies. The blue variant is available as a gift from me--if you want one, just DM me your address, and I'll get it over to you. The red variant is only available through Fire Truck Records. Purchase any one of their digital releases from Bandcamp (link below), and they'll send you out a red variant while supplies last. Each cassette also comes with instructions for making two cocktails themed specifically for that color variant, one alcoholic and the other zero proof. I've been designing drinks at Promenade Artisan Foods for about 1.5 years, and I'm really excited to bring that interest into my poetry releases. I'm still super new at mixology, but hopefully these will be a fun treat to mix and sip while you listen to the cassette. Biggest ups to Nugget Records for the idea to make themed drinks with a release! Their music-drink work has been hugely inspiring for me!

.

**These are currently preorder and should ship within the next month.**

.

Stay tuned for more fun related to this release, but that's it for now!

Love 💚 CBxFR

Winter Wind Down Fest announced their line-up, and I'm blessed as heck to be on it. Lord-willing, this'll be my first in-person show since March 7, 2020. Crazy. So get planning to come! I'd like to write a longer, more convincing argument detailing why you should come, but I'm exhausted, so, for know, just know you should consider coming!
