Tranquility Park is located on the corner of Bagby St. and Walker St. on the west side of downtown Houston, just north of City Hall and right next to Houston’s theatre district. If you’re coming from the north, take the McKinney St. exit from I-45 south to get into downtown and turn left at Bagby St.
There is usually ample parking at the underground City Hall and Theatre District parking. Entrances to the parking garage are on Rusk St., Capitol St., and the southwest corner of Bagby St. And Walker St. Prices are $3/hour with a $12/day maximum.
The park is within easy access of two METRO stations at Bagby St. and Walker St. (1, 2).

I wish I could attend the poetry reading but I cannot so here is something for you all:
WMC (weapons of Mass Confusion)
We watch them debate over how to screw the sheep
Yes Obama, Boehner and the rest of the pig farmers are all in session
It’s not a matter of bidding for the lobbyist assassins anymore
Cause the death of the Middle class comes in the form of the next Great depression
Ah, yes I have told my fellow lubed up, hardworking, unskilled comrades
I really hope they serve some cream of potato in the soup kitchen
Because nothing else weathers the cold hard welfare winters
Like a hand me down bowl of soup and a suicidal debt affliction
Because we will have no one else to blame but ourselves
The American people picked the great black minority hope
With the mythical legendary belief that he was not there to lie us
Yes don’t tell me you didn’t buy into the free sample of dope
Because remember our addiction to the oncoming poverty
Is a motherfucking, god given, flag waving choice
So what, that most Americans are so ill informed about the system
That we keep throwing money into a void that absorbs the common voice
Yes, I like so many others that are angered by the campaigning media blitz
Of our over privileged patsy leaders with all powerful weapons of mass confusion
May not understand all the information that only partially been given to us
And yes the road is not brick or gold, just a yellowish piss and bullshit fusion
Cause the great OZ on the Panasonic box tells us all is ok
No time to click your heels against the thick red tape of our economic downfall
This is only surpassed by a mix of blame game and reality television
And yes get ready for four more years of screaming at the wall
