Time Out says
Whether you're heading out of town to avoid the approaching SXSW madness or getting pumped for the approaching SXSW awesomeness, get prepped for both this Wednesday at your favorite neighborhood bike shop, Windmill Bicycles! The show that night will be the equivalent of Arsenio Hall, Mark Wahlberg, and a pizza starring in a buddy flick in space directed by Zadie Smith and scored by Cyndi Lauper. Or at least the equivalent of Rock Hudson's jaw.
Poets Anis Mojgani and Grant Cross will be sharing work that Michiko Kakutani of the NY Times famously said "I enjoy this shared work more than the thought of a film about the friendship between say, an 80s talk show host, a rapper-turned-movie star, and a pizza. And that's saying a lot!"
Notorious grump Harold Bloom has had this to say: "There are three things I like--Chaucer, upsetting people, and Anis Mojgani & Grant Cross readings."
This stellar eve may even have the possibility of being graced by Arrow Strike, but one of the bands out of the brains of Windmill's sibling proprietors, Donny and Marie Osmond.
Doors are at 7:30pm (though, as an operating place of business, technically they're at noon…), show at 8:30!
Neil Patrick Harris will not be hosting*

Grant Cross writes haiku
to make sense of the madness
He loves swimming best
arrived in Texas
day after his first birthday
born in Illinois
grew up in the burbs
moved to the Northwest, moved back
will die in the sky
writes to stay alive
works only when he has to
wiggles & wiggles
Grant's book of haiku, Palm, is published by Monofonus Press.

Arrow Strike plays loud music for folks with loud hearts, and soundtrack the the days of the citizens of Planet Kicks Ass.
See yall there!!
