1. MAY GIGS
FRIDAY, MAY 6th. Copus is returning once again to wondrous Vallejo this Friday night. Having performed at the Listen + Be Heard Café last month, we can personally say that this is one of the nicest performing spaces in the Bay Area - great ambience, wonderful folks, good sound system, and the best hosts anywhere. Due to the overwhelming success of the performing arts series/magazine "Listen + Be Heard", the unstoppable Martha Cinader and Tony Mims have opened up their own place called - yes, you guessed it - the Listen + Be Heard Café. They don't have their liquor license yet, but don't let that stop you from coming out to hear the dynamic poet/literature professor Luis M. Syquia and Copus on one stage - there is no high higher than a natural one from hearing the word and feeling the music in your soul! Show starts at 8pm. 818 Marin Street, Vallejo. $5 cover before 8:30 - $8 after. Ladies free before 9pm. 707-554-4540 or www.listenandbeheard.net for more information.

SATURDAY, MAY 7th. As part of the United Nations 60th Anniversary party and promotion of peace, there will be a reception, art opening, open mic, and special guests COPUS performing at the Red Victorian Peace Center Bed & Breakfast - 1665 Haight Street. 5-9pm. The Red Vic (a couple of doors down from the movie theatre by the same name) is a San Francisco landmark. "As the only historic hotel on world famous Haight Street near Golden Gate Park, each guest room honors the 1967 summer of love and inspires us to carry the best of those anticipatory ideals of peace, social and environmental justice into our shared future world." Come and check out a bit of history and fun! Phone 415-864-1978 for information/directions. www.redvic.com.

2. MONTEREY IN JUNE.
Copus has been asked to perform at the Summer Fest Arts + Crafts Faire sponsored by the Pacific Repertory Theatre in Monterey on SATURDAY, JUNE 25th. The event is held outside right at Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey from 9am - 6pm both Saturday and Sunday. I'm thinking Clint Eastwood will drop by to speak a few words with Copus! For more details, please check out www.pacrep.org/faires2005.

3. WHISPERS CD - RELEASE PARTY.
I know many of you are eagerly awaiting the debut release by Phoenix Rising (aka Wendy + Monica). It is being completed as we speak and we anticipate it to be in your hot, little hands within the next week or so. We are busily planning a performance and CD release party for mid-June, so stay tuned for detail announcements!

4. MOTHER'S DAY SHOPPING.
Don't forget Mom this Sunday! Why not visit the Copus store and buy her something truly unique! www.cafepress.com/copusmusic.

5. POETRY SECTION.

Words to remind us of the essentials, from Royal Kent -

The Haves Have
The Have Nots
In A Knot

The Have Have
The Have Nots
In A Rot

Have You Any
Idea Just Who
And What

Created This Plot
For The Haves Have
All While All Others

Have Naught

Now There Is
One Thing That
I Must Interject Here

As I Nearly Forgot
The Have Nots Have
That Which For Centuries

The Haves Have Sought
This Would Be Strength
Which Is Greater Than

Strength Itself
Beauty Which Cannot
Be Duplicated Nor Destroyed

And The Will To Endure
Even Unto The
Very End

Stay healthy and strong! Happy Spring!
Peace,

Wendy + Royal
