SUMMARY:Brandt's Poetry Ride from LaurelHurst Park to Lloyd Center
CONTACT:Brandt Maina
DESCRIPTION:This Event is Free and Open to ALL \n\nVery simply\, very 
 simple. \nWe'll gather at the center of Laurelhurst Park (the the metal 
 sculpture) at 6:00pm and hang out for a wee bit. We'll start the ride at 
 6:30pm. Your favorite honey-glazed\, sun-plumped\, perfectly-marbled\, raw
  Kenyan bestie\, Brandt Maina | RIOA wa ROE\, will read you poems as they 
 lead this casual ride to Lloyd Center. He will make stops in really random
  (but very safe) spaces along the way. They will read you more poems. 30 
 little poems to be precise. 30 little gay little liminal little gay poems.
  He will kiss a pan. Because it's June. And we like to honor June by 
 remembering. RIOA wa ROE will read from Her first ever poetry collection\,
  "resilient joy\, a t. table book." It’s like a coffee table book\, but 
 for people who only drink tea. On May 23rd\, 2021\, Brandt Maina walked 
 through their alma mater\, a small conservative Christian school in rural 
 Indiana\, at 11:11pm and said a final farewell. With the Light on the 
 night of a waxing gibbous Moon\, RIOA drifted about taking photos of 
 spaces that seamlessly nurtured and wounded him.\n\nThese are those poems.
  \nThe ride will end on the SE corner of the 3rd Floor of Lloyd Center's 
 Garage (entrance on Multnomah St.)\n\nFrom this roof top\, Brandt and his 
 sweet wee friends will share readings from their 9 play collection: 
 Succinct Suppositions\n\nPlay No. 3: MotherDaddy \na throbbing gesture of 
 wings wafting at the plight of their near death\n\nSaturday June 29th\,
