Does anybody have the link to that site that had a bunch of Bukowski poems on it? The thread that had it before is gone now and Google isn't turning up anything good.
Thanks.

not sure if any of you are in the LA area, but I'm planning a Hank Chinaski day party.
Planning on going to the Santa Anita race track, the fog cutter bar, a few other Bukowski bars and haunts and ending up in the seedy parts of downtown at some shit hole strip clubs.
Maybe tour his Hollywood apt and San Pedro home, send a postcard from his post office etc.
Email for more info.

Not what you wanted but I thought I'd post it anyway...
Bukowski completely drunk on the French TV Apostrophes

sounds cool but at the same time a bit lame... you reckon Hank or Chuck would have joined you?
NOPE!

I'm not trying to be him dude. I just want to spend a day with my friends doing stuff he liked to do, and in that we celebrate the impact of his work. Some people make movies about him, others drink at the same bars.
I also think it terribly presumptuous to assume he wouldn't approve. I say this because Bukowski specifically drank at Musso and Franks in hollywood because Hemmingway drank there years before.

Hahah, I don’t care. I just figured this would have more links and be helpful as well.
My favourite Bukowski:
If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery or isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you’ll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.
