John Bauman is a very creative fellow. We used to do poetry shows together. And often played music together. In addition to writing poems, he writes a lot of palindromes*, and works at 7/11.
We went to an open mic together once, and he got up after all these people had read gut-wrenching and/or serious poetry, and read a weird random poem. No one knew how to take it, but I was laughing very hard.
I met John at the old Fire & Water. Back then he always carried a bottle of seltzer water with him, so I nick-named him John the baptist, but that didn't last.
* A palindrome is a word or sentence or longer text which reads the same backwards and forwards (the letters are the same anyway). Examples: "Racecar", "Kayak", "Wow Bob, wow!"
