The one, and probably only, Travis Nichols just got a story published in The Stranger.
For anyone who doesn’t know, Travis was the manager of the Poetry Bus Tour which was the biggest poetry event in the US since… maybe since poetry has been written in the US (note: poet Travis Nichols is not to be confused with the Health & Safety Leader for Bakery Chef, Inc who testified before the US House Subcommittee on Worker Protections). Beyond his management of the tour he is also a great person and a great writer.
The Stranger is the hip, though sometimes questionable, newspaper of Seattle (note: the newspaper The Stranger is not to be confused with Albert Camus’ famous french novel). A lot of people in Seattle read the Stranger and if they read Travis’ piece I am sure they will be a better person for it by no less than 2.7 percent (or as Albert C. would say “2,7 pour cent“).
Just in case anyone missed the link the first time— read Travis’ article.

Actually, there are a bunch of us Travi. After vanity googling myself to the point of hairy palmed blindness, I have noted: a cartoonist, a baker, a wrestler, a stock car racer, a student body president, a cross country runner, and a telo-olympic athlete. Let me know if you find anymore, and thanks for the thought.
and a drummer ;)
