As most of you will know, Charles Bukowski passed away on the 9th March 1994.
As this date is about to roll around again, will anyone be doing anything to commemorate the event?
Personally, I'm sure I'll have a browse of the forum here. Maybe see if mjp has put up a special home page image, g00gle style to mark the day. Then I'll raise a glass or two and read a few poems. Perhaps listen to a reading CD and might even watch Barfly in the evening. Although I have a habit of watching it far too late and falling asleep. Nothing to do with wine consumption, obviously.
I realise this might well sound a bit too glib or even cult-of-celebrity-fied for some, but Bukowski clearly means a lot to many of the posters here, and to many more around the world, so I hope you'll reply with this in mind.
