Rob Z’s Beatnik Bonanza occurred on a recent Wednesday night at El Cid.
First off, the atmosphere needs to be described. Often times, when I head over to El Cid to listen to bands, most of the tables are removed from the restaurant floor. This specific night, all the tables were set up so that people could sit down, relax and listen.
Chissum Worthington started the night out. There were some classic moments. There was one sketch where he stated he wanted to sell us some merchandise, out came a number of books and DVDs. He also sang two songs about specific individuals, and those two individuals were in the audience to hear the songs.
Next up were three beatnik poets. The first had a relaxed attitude towards his verse. The next poet provided us with her beautiful words. The final poet made us attack our own fears via his angry vocals challenging his own fears.

Rob Z does a night at El Cid once a month. I probably go once every other month. They’re worth attending. Note: There isn’t a Beatnik Bonanza each month so don’t expect to show up in May and see beatnik poets.
