  The 806 Wine & Martini Bar's lighting was great for ambience but awful for videotaping, as I discovered while filming Roger Craik's featured reading there during Lix and Kix 2 in November 2008. We also had issues that night with excessive noise filtering into the poetry room from from the bar. Nevertheless, Roger and his poetry were superb, and I am very happy to finally post this selection from his reading in the Crisis Chronicles Online Library.

  It's as you say, JC-- dark, with lots of background noise from the bar. But despite that, Roger's poem comes across very clearly, and is a delight to hear again. He has a wonderful reading voice, and that voice is not stifled at all in this video. Thank you for posting yet another cherished memory.

     Thank you, Dianne!  I can easily imagine the 806 as the "deep shadowed bar" in which Roger's poem is set.

        I missed him at L & K... but got a chance to finally hear him at the Lit last time. I'm glad you've finally posted this... I think videos will come out better in the new location.. no back ground noises..

  Hmmm... If I recall, we ran sound from the mixing board directly to your camera. I'd hate to think what your camera's omnidirectional mic would have sounded like if we hadn't done that. (I was a bit worried that the audio would have ended up being too loud through the mixer. That's what I ran into when I finally had a chance to check out the video I made of the Halloween show.)

     It would have been a lot worse, I suspect.  I was a bit embarrassed by the noise level, which was quite rude; but at that venue, it was beyond our control.  Plus, by the time Roger read, many folks had already been there a couple of hours and were quite liquored up... lol.  I don't think we've had a reading with that much background noise before or since - thank gawd.  The fun and the poetry are more integrated now.
