Lowell Celebrates Kerouac 2011

Just booked our room for LCK 2011 October 6-9: a king bed with a patio overlooking the locks.

Note: What used to be the Doubletree at 50 Warren Street (which is the best located hotel for the event, being right in downtown Lowell and within walking distance or a short taxi ride from everything) is now called the UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center.

Have you made your plans yet? If you're a Kerouac fan, this is a must-attend event.

See you there! Come up and introduce yourself if you read The Daily Beat.

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
