DRC POETRY VLOG #1 (About the youtube poetry community and other stuff)

[b3yondR3d3mption]

hey im really interested in getting involved in the youtube poetry community any advice on how or who to get a hold of im trying to grow and at the same time get my voice out there as well...so if you or anyone else could help me out any please contact me on my page

[TheRavenOfPoe]

I really do enjoy vlogs - it feels like I've sat down and had a nice conversation with the vlogger (without having to do any of the conversing work myself hehe!)

This is a great way to get news out about the YouTube poetry community too :)

[charlottepoet]

drink heavily. yeah i need to do that, wait it is only 11:30 in the morning..hmmm

i'm proud to be on the poets on youtube list. you are right though that it is hard to get subs. i only have 85 and many that i sub to don't sub back so *sigh*

'Internet drinking buddy' I heard it here first! Cheers David.

[msbunburyist]

You did a great job on your vlog! :) And I hope you locate Cowpox soon.

(Also, long time no see!)

[gattopardo1861]

interessante

[kel2corkeyOriginal]

Oh and feel free to share your videos with me buddy,i hate it when i miss some.

[kel2corkeyOriginal]

Hey David vlogging aint easy so you did good.

Its strange how close you can get to someone on line and on you tube they can be here one day and gone the next which is hard to deal with sometimes.

I find thursday and monday to be the best days to post videos bud.

[marycigarettes]

why do u want to reshoot all that good stuff,when u already have it in the can with u looking YOUNGER?..are u into monitoring your slow slide from this mortal coil in HD?..or are u just avoiding the hard thing of writing a new poem?..youre looking well n fresh mister..presentin yerself in a very natural n real way for this clip..i find authenticity such a difficult pose to keep up for any length of time..btw...cowpox is dying..he's into the advanced final stages of syphilis[hence his name]

[DavidRandallCurtis]

@marycigarettes YOU! I DEMAND a skype or you will be in so much trouble (again)... :P Seriously, I miss talking to you. And hey, I write new poems all the time... I was just thinking about posting new ones on Sunday and do new versions of the old ones (pre old age :P ) -- the camera I shot this on is not high def -- it is HQ -- but the reason I like it is it gets the lows a lot better... now... PLEASE SKYPE ME!!!!! :p

[CUCProductions]

lol

[Penndennis]

You're the Dog's David Randall Curtis. It would be such a pleasure to know you outside of this virtual world.

[JoSieLove2Sing4u]

I will look for you next Sunday V-log..

May we all have this fine quality of endurance.

We will looking into Cowpox status.

Best Wishes To All Poets, Thank you for sharing.

[JoSieLove2Sing4u]

*I like your open door policy*

[JoSieLove2Sing4u]

*YaY*  Number #1

[Jadabh3]

I'm Jadabh3 now. That needs changing.

I liked Nina's new one.

I hate vlogging :/

[longhairred]

Rats! I was hoping you could tell me about Cowpox!

[ninapoetry]

I miss cowpox too... I hope he is okay.

[controversialbook]

I'm no authority on the best day to post videos on YouTube, but my preference (this could possibly be the first time I've had a preference about anything) right now is basically anytime during the day or night Sunday thru Saturday.

[clayLavl]

yo..

[nordicsky]

This vlog was totally intelligible because I just happened to be working my way through a bottle of red wine. These poets and musicians that you support and promote are amazing...their styles and approaches to their art are divergent, yet they share a common belief in free thought and a desire to express their ideas. Poetry aint dead it's alive and kicking on the world wide web.

I too hope Cowpox is ok

Regards, Peter

[sausage4mash]

lol, 2 yrs on you tube and just figured how to do a video response ,enjoy the cheese

[sausage4mash]

you're easy to listen too ,,vlog more perhaps ,oh and it sucks to lose a drinking buddy

[TruthCracker]

He so is Frazier! I know its hard outside the comfort zone. And I'm definately into the heavy drinking.

[jamesarongray]

haha

[1MrIncognito]

Many load vids on Thursdays D. Best.

[ozjthomas]

I'll pour a drink for you. Not a bad vlog, I am terrible at them. I hope Cowpox is ok.

[jamesarongray]

I think Mondays and tuesday get the most views... for the same reason some businesses aren't open those days... all at home

[jamesarongray]

lol @ 29

[thecatalystpoet]

which one are you? are you David.Randall.Curtis or daidrandallcurtis

Oh and put my new profile up, and take down my old one. my old one is midknyghtchild

TheCatalystPoet is my current one

[thecatalystpoet]

I'm referring to skype in the first part. There are two accounts.

The second refers to my poetry channel.

By the way, AWESOME Vlog

[liz1060]

I understand a little about vlogphobia since I have it, too, but I'm a tedious stuffy rut -- so I don't understand why you have it -- cuz you're none of those things!

[PoetLina]

I know how hard you find it to talk, thought you did a pretty good job all things considering. ;)

[DavidRandallCurtis]

PoetLina: Are you trying to insinuate that I Skype people while drinking and yammer incoherently for excessive amounts of time? :P Why I oughta... ;)

[flyboy172r]

Pouring myself a drink now David ;)

[UntamedBlueLight]

.... Cowpox is missing?? That almost makes me want to cry...

[DavidRandallCurtis]

UntamedBlueLight: I hoping he just spaced on paying his phone bill....

[lucidatheist]

Another winner by Mr. Curtis.

[mrlowdangle]

i dont know Cowpox,but ive missed having his vids pop up in my subs section..hope all is ok

great vlog+thx for the other intro's,i'll chech em out

[RichardRoy2]

Hey, DRC. The Vlog was great. I think it gives a little more depth to you in that I don't see this persona in your poetry presentations. Sorry I can't say what's happened to Cowpox. I hope he's well too.

[AncientAtheist]

David - you are a lot better at talking off the cuff than you think. I was shocked to hear you admit to being uncomfortable since you are so completely self-assured when doing your poems. But this was fine and required no "endurance". ; )

[Nigelcf]

Awesome vloging David you are a great bastion for poetry on here. You should get a knighthood or award or something!

{{{Cowpox}}} Hope he's ok :{

[sonofwalt]

Nice idea! I hope the bearded one is ok. I've seen a bit of his stuff and he seems like a guy worth drinking with. Loved your notes, btw... was that Amstel Light you were trying to not do a product placement for? haha... we have similar taste in beer! Good sign! Carry on! :)

-David

[AcidEntertainment]

When I saw the icon I thought wow, what a cool rapper! =) And you are a cool rapper- a fine poet...and personality.

[Idlinfarm]

Good job! You're adorable David. I like your spontaneity. Don't worry about anything. It will all be OK. Hugs.

[Poemsapennyeach]

Take care. I will try .

[Rutle]

Great vlog, "the first is drink heavily" lol

[heatherlynblue]

i'm so excited to see a vlog from you drc... and really looking forward to this being a new dimension to your channel.

[elviradark6]

'bourbon fuel blackout'?..lol.i gotta remember that one, not that i drink or anything else for that matter! also happy belated b'day on your 29th year!! ^_^..sip sip hic! LOL David i know this is a serious vlog, but you crack me up always!!and yes thats a compliment coming from me!!

[tinySpectacle]

Just one question: What's the policy on posting a video response? I'm still a bit fuzzy on this.

BwaHAHAHA

[Pamilow]

Nice one, luvvie. Bit of a worry about Cowpox... hope he's okay. My advice to stick your notes on the bottom of booze bottles is here proved to be very sound, don't you think, darling? It's the one place you're bound to see them!! ;-p You're not going to remove the old versions of your poems as you rerecord them, are you? I'll throw a mega tantrum if you do!!! ;-D

Pam x

[leftgreenthumb]

LOL Great VLOG!!!!! Loved watching it!! And you are such a amazing, generous guy to support the youtube poets the way you do! Personally, I am forever greatful! How do I get your chapbook? I am super interested!

[KraisinsGhost]

drink heavily is always the best way to start.

[skinnyjohnsen]

Thanks man! You are a really generous man.

1st six-pack is already consumed.

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

I need to learn to scroll text- heres a link; shameless promoter I am.....

[Elenkhos]

Druchaos..... and I saw four of you, the more the better.

[keanghiero]

Nice, cheers.

5*

All the best

[andrewnorris1]

This was so interesting to watch, for 2 reasons. You are quite different when you are spontaneous, so lets have more of these, but also I enjoyed this because I think you deserve a lot of credit for helping promote other poets' work. From my own experience you have always been honest and gracious in your comments and like me, I am sure many other people appreciate you......now I am going to pour myself a drink, good suggestion.
