so coach is requiring we venture out into the world to slam at other venues. believe me he wastes no time getting down to business...he is FABULOUS!
Big Brotha B started it off hitting Sam' s Burger Joint in SA., it is one of the least poet friendly joints around...crowd can be harsh. some of my fav's come from there too though...like Ria and Vocab
anyway, B came in second right behind Shaggy!!!!!
Lil sis is soooooo proud!!
coach with gentle nudging..smile...asked if i would hit Ego's. one of my goals is to get out of my comfort zone, so i obliged.
wow. i did it!
came in second! the great Shannon Leigh beat me by a 10th of a point.
its hard to belive this fantastic poet is only 18yrs old!! i mean her words come from a very old soul.
by the way, next wednesday, she will be featuring at Ego's plus having a going away party. she will be leaving for atlanta. going to college, and trying to bring new life to the poetry scene out there. i told her she will definitely raise the bar.
It was Neo Soul's Anniversary last night. wow. i can never say enough how we have some of the best poet's around to walk thru those doors.
and the journey continues...
