My next guest co-host on Stand As 1, 12/8/13: Richard Lamoureux! - Poet Tacito's Blog

Howdy ya'll!

Lets get right to it!

On Sunday, December 8th @8am PST, the USA & Canada will join as one with my special guest co-host, RICHARD LAMOUREUX from British Columbia, Canada on "Stand As 1" on Blog Talk Radio!
 
Richard continues to leave his mark on the Soup and is a man amongst men! His heart & humor are potent & inspiring amongst all who read his work. This is an exciting opportunity for us all and I'm very hyped for this show!

That said, this is also YOUR time to shine. "Stand As 1" is an Open Mic internet radio show with the sole focus of providing all poets across the world a voice to be heard. So, DON'T BE SHY!

The fun all goes down at 8am PST/11am EST/4pm London Time/11pm in the Philippines!
So, join us!!! Do it for humanity, eh?!

Richard Lamoureux Date: 12/9/2013 9:44:00 AM Thanks Drake for the honor of co-hosting with you. You are amazing Drake, your energy and humor made the experience very enjoyable. You are a very talented guy. I also enjoyed hearing you read your work, you have mad skills! Login to Reply Poet Tacito Date: 12/9/2013 12:48:00 PM HAHAHHAAH! "Mad skills", I never expected those 2 words coming from you. You continue to crack my ass up! I adore you sir! Thank you so much for the awesome memories yesterday! =D

Carrie Richards Date: 12/8/2013 10:28:00 AM P.S......I also love Richard's comment on your show.......that if we are going to put our work out there......we have to expect, and handle criticism with class! We must learn to take the risk. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 12/8/2013 12:31:00 PM Hi Carrie, I was so hoping to hear your voice. I'm so glad you were able to listen in. Poet Tacito Date: 12/8/2013 12:13:00 PM Yes, I couldn't agree more. He was spot on.

Carrie Richards Date: 12/8/2013 10:25:00 AM (I am listening Sunday morning 12//8 ...8:23 am....by the way!) Login to Reply Poet Tacito Date: 12/8/2013 12:12:00 PM YAAAAAAY! You rock this whole decade! =)

Carrie Richards Date: 12/8/2013 10:23:00 AM I love this discussion, ....the fact that you mentioned about Poetry Soup is such a massive group of people, and yet, it often feels like this small community of friendly people who happen to drop by, the ones who we recognize as our friends, it feels so much smaller than it really is. I often forget, put out of my mind, that I am chatting to someone on the otherside of the planet. Poetry soup makes me feel these folks are in my neighborhood. Drake, you bring us even closer together. Login to Reply Poet Tacito Date: 12/8/2013 12:12:00 PM Carrie! You were able to listen in! YAY! =D It's a really beautiful thing. Thank you VERY much for all you said!!!

Monterey Sirak Date: 12/4/2013 7:37:00 AM Fantastic!!!!! Richard is an incredible poet. Can't wait to listen and hear him read. It will be nice to put a voice to the words. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 12/6/2013 8:34:00 AM I was hoping talking to you Drake would lower your expectations. With this comment I'm even more nervous *lol*, you flatter me Monterey, that is a real compliment coming from a person as talented as yourself. Poet Tacito Date: 12/4/2013 11:34:00 AM Yes, I couldn't agree more. I had the pleasure of speaking with him today and I'm more excited than I was earlier this morning. Impossible? Never. :)

Richard Lamoureux Date: 12/3/2013 4:02:00 PM Thanks to all for the words of encouragement. It will be a new experience for me. I am honored that Drake would even consider me for this priveledge. I hope some of you call in because that will make it that much more fun and certainly more interesting. The soup has become like a second family and you all are amazing!
