This blog has learned that there is an advance team of Flarf Poets and their handlers in Argentina at the resort town of Bariloche. They are looking for a site that will meet the diverse needs of the poet community, critics, families and admirers.
As practical matters are addressed, there is a concern that the Vegan Flarf poets will not be able to sit in the same banquet room with the meat-eating Flarf poets and their outsized Argentine steaks. (Meat wars are tedious, if I may interject an opinion). I have also heard that there is concern with Internet access and IPhone/Pod performance. After all, there are only working vacations for Flarf poets.
A related concern is the number of stairs, uneven walkways, etc. A number of prominent Flarf poets are known to pace and even wander while working.
While Argentina is the first and favored country on this junket, the actual site while be determined by the Nigerian graduate student who dabbles in Flarf poetry. Nigerian oil money in the form of a substantial student allowance will underwrite the festival. This Nigerian graduate student is studying a certain Language Poet at an American University. More will be revealed at the festival.
