Those of you who know me know that I am SERIOUS Henry Rollins fan. Well, guess who is going to see him do a spoken word this evening at 8:00 PM. THAT’S RIGHT! It’s me!
I’m pretty pumped about it. Hell, I’m always pumped when Henry comes to town. He’s been making annual appearances in these parts for the last few years. I’m trying to decide if I’m going to try and get a picture with him. I have one of him and me from 1997. It’d be nice to get an upgrade.
Suspiciously, there are only two spoken word dates listed on Rollins’ web site. Tonight in Ames, Iowa and tomorrow in Decatur, Illinois. I like to think that he’s making a special trip just to see me.
I’ll let you know how it goes.

I would just like to share the tonight I am seeing The Aging Alternative Icon and my personal hero Henry Rollins perform an evening of spoken word at Stephens Auditorium in Ames. It’s about an hour drive away for me, but it’ll be totally worth it.
Only downside is that Ames is home to Iowa State University and tomorrow is a big football came between their cross-state rivals at the University of Iowa. Everyone and their Dad is going to be in Ames for the weekend. It’s going to be tough finding a place to eat.
I’ve seen Rollins do spoken word about 7 or 8 times now and always get a big kick out of it. This is going to be hugely inspirational for me. A kick in the ass at the exact time I need it.
I met him once after a show in 1997. Got a picture, too. I think tonight I’m going to try and repeat history and get an updated photo.
Very exciting!
