Born out of the seedy underbelly of the poetry scene at the turn of the millennium - The Buffalo Poets, known for their unique energy and wit, began hosting open readings as a direct reaction to Slam Poetics and cookie cutter style poets found in New York City. Hailing originally from New York City, the Buffalo are composed of four core members: Roger Kenny aka King Otho, Noah Levin, David Acevedo and Kevin Callahan . The Buffalo have many artists throughout America including, James Honzik, Michael Franklin, and the infamous activist Rafael Bueno

This is a good piece, and I thought it was on this site already, but apparently not. Also, you can listen to me read it, live at Vox Pop with the included sound file!

Have faith in the unlimited mind! Science and learning can pave the way for the true potential of this great nation. Encourage new creative problem solving. Take care of the sick and the homeless. Feed the needy. America is its people, not it's war planes. Our current setup is anti-american. The bombs and armies cannot be democratically controlled, so the question is: Who controls them? The power has trickled into the hands of the few. Strike a blow for the constitiution. Strike a blow for free lands of this earth. Strike a blow for purple mountain majestey. Don't replace our values with a constitution of greed and malice.

April is Poetry Month and Oxford University Press has relaunched their blog, inviting The Buffalo Poets to provide content for their poetry section. I'm honored and excited about this chance, not for me but everyone who has come to the readings and participated. The first set of posts will be posted this Friday so please lend a hand, click and check us out.
Next week Friday 13th we'll be performing at Vox Pop from 10-12AM Free as usual and this time we promise visuals. So come and see!

Informative and scary. Watch as public relations videos are used verbatim as real news, even edited to make it less obvious.

MOOSE!

Dave (aka fleece) & I have been hard at work lately the last few weekends tucked away in a remote decrepit laboratory shifting through hours & hours worth of Buffalo audio. Knife fights galore you know. While working on a larger project (which this may or may not be apart of), we came across this clip. From the famous last reading of the Rotisserie series: here's Fleece & Noah giving the Devil his due, The Buffalo Readings live at the Rotisserie Gallery, October 20th 2006.

Outline -

Brief -

A Method for transmitting sperm and/or eggs between people connected on the internet, but arbitrarily far away.

Forseeable market -

Future space people living in giant celluar space ships, floating, bonelessly in the vast nowheres or space, connected to the internet.

The Steps of this process include:
I) Gamete Extraction
A) Presumably when DNA sequenceing becomes very fast, Sperm transmission can be accomplished during virtual reality sex.
II) DNA Sequencing
III) Transmission of DNA via the Internet
IV) Reconstruct partner's DNA
V) Construct a complete gamete
VI) Shove gamete into appropriate receptacle
VII) Rinse and repeat

Yup, five years ago, last night, the very first Buffalo Readings took place at Fat Cat Jazz and Billiards. It had been gestating several months before, in its embryonic form, Uranium 235, the Ripped Magazine poetry section. There has not been a (proper) magazine since, and yet there have been hundreds of Buffalo Readings, across two coasts of this land. Well done all the Buffalo, and MOOSE!

Yours,
King Otho

Whatever it was ain't what it is now

After a brief but painful inspection and updation, buffaloreadings.live is sucessfully back online. And it only took the sacrifice of several brave but stupid troll like creatures, creeping through the tubes under buffalo headquarters, three-quarter miles beneath the magma chamber at Yosemite National Park. On the plus side, we'll now be able to mass delete any mistacronks spambot users, and potentially stop them from existing in the first place. Yay open source. As a consequence, any new users will have to correctly answer three questions. Each one relating to a Google search the user must perform, find the correct answer through choosing the correct result, and finding the item and or phrase that will ultimately lead them to the clues that will allow them to answer the questions, and register as a new user of the buffaloreadings.live. [webmaster: Incorrect] I mean, um, you know, one of those "type these letters" dealies that will also keep out anyone who needs glasses. More changes to come, including a updated media gallery and such. Also, any crazy problems you spot, don't be afraid to comment onto this story about it.
