Being a Tremonter, I’d heard about the Literary Cafe Talk Show, even watched a few online, but never attended a taping. Last night, I attended a taping. Why I didn’t do this every chance I got, I have no idea. Host Dick Trainer is an only-in-Cleveland classic – basically a cross between Ghoulardi, Chris Farley, and Tony Clifton. Watch an episode from last year – you’ll get the picture after about the first minute.
Dick Trainer’s main guest was Cleveland/Tremont poet and artist Stephen B. Smith. Here’s some pics from last evening. Host Dick Trainer standing next to a strange musical guest.
Producers Andy Timithy (who also is the Literary Cafe proprietor) and Craig Chojnicki attempting to look like they know what they are doing.
Here’s the strange musical guest singing into a vocorder underneath a ski mask.
And here’s a shot from the bar.
Maybe someday I’ll be a guest…….a guy can dream, can’t he? Anyway, stay tuned to the Literary Cafe blog for the show when it’s edited. [UPDATE - And here it is! How about that for quick editing!]
