Bukowski short films?

Well I missed this yesterday but apparently there was a screening of "ultra-rare Hank Films" in Venice. The description of the event is pretty vague (and maddening.) In this description it sounds like they are showing interview footage, possibly from the 240 minute long "Bukowski Tapes" by Barbet Schroeder. But maybe it's something else? I wonder if this short film based on a story by Hank is any good. But who am I kidding, I wasn't going to drive all the way out to Venice anyway.

Bukowski's grave

With the recent news that Bukowski's old bungalow is going to be designated a historical monument, it's time to celebrate (drink.) I really want to go visit Bukowski's grave, it sounds like a fun daytime (drinking) activity. Who's with me?

Bukowski's old place to be a historical monument

Not everyone is a fan of Charles Bukowski. Especially among Los Angelenoes there is a bit of a backlash for sure. But I'm a big poetry fan and you have to admit his poetry writing is unique and honest. My favorite novel of his is Post Office, his first. In the news this week is this story about efforts to have the Hollywood Bungalow where he wrote Post Office preserved as a historical monument. I can't tell from the news story where exactly this place is but as soon as I find out let's go have some drinks nearby!
