Mike O'Hara

Wednesday, 09 January 2008

Michael O'Hara was imprisoned for weeks in Library detention in the 4th grade after a schoolyard fight where he grabbed Jose's head and rammed it into a brick wall.  While locked down he developed an interest in literature in general, the Arthurian Legends in particular, and managed to not get traded to any other kids for a pack of candy cigarettes.   Since then, Michael's gone through some pretty good fights and books and did some writing of his own.   He's written the now out of print Chapbook "The Fine Art of Selling Out" and been published by the United Nations in their anthology "Dialogue Among Civilizations through Poetry". He's performed in Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Seattle, Minneapolis, Princeton, Providence, Trenton (who cares about Trenton though?), and most importantly in Newark Delaware and Wilmington Delaware - HOME OF THE MOTHER FUCKING TAX FREE SHOPPING FOR THAT ASS   In his spare time he hikes, borrows girlfriends, designs and play tests strategy games, boozes in Philadelphia, builds robots, and pretends to be a major religious figure.
