I hate to be a pessimist. But probably not. But if it could, the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City could serve as a model.

The propaganda page states:

We’re proud to announce the happy, kicking birth of a new species – a Home for Poetry.
After all, HEY! Poetry is no longer an elitist pursuit, anathema to real life, obscurantism on toast.

What we have here is a failure to not communicate. For as Language is the Essence of Humanity, so is Poetry, as practiced at the Bowery Poetry Club, the Essence of language.

However, as you might guess, poetry alone does not keep the doors open. They’ve got a cafe and a bar that opens in the evening. Also, they’ve got a digital recording studio and a cybercast facility. So while poetry provides the cachet, the ancillary stuff keep the place open. Of course I’m just making a guess here, but I suspect I’m right.

Now the question is: can Columbus support a blogging club? Imagine the draw of seeing live blogging on stage!

Welcome to the270. If this is your first time here and think, "what a douchebag", well that's my intent. To spur conversation. To drive my agenda to make Columbus a better place. If you are the subject of my douchebaggery, please do not take offense. I mean no harm. Leave a comment. And we'll discuss.
