Most Days It Feels Real Good

Flava In Your Ear...yeah yeah baby, we won. Ma and Pops finally got to see me in action. smile. they're was some really great work up on that stage. the love from the Austin Slam Team has been beautiful and very supportive. feels like one team, not 2. quite impressed with Chucky from Ft. Worth, he is one of those poet's who simply just defies logic! Chris Lee, my baby's daddy :), can just rip your heart out sometimes, and my baby Ebony...do the damn thang girl.
Congratulations Jono for winning the Make It Wet Spit Fest! The next Spit Fest is in October, if you haven't been to one yet check it out, 'cause it is always a hot show/slam. Love should be very proud of her baby. it all starts with a dream right? BFran's Poetic House Party once again was INSANE!
We hadn't had one in a minute, and it was long overdue, but worth the wait for sure. Let's see....57 DIFFERENT POETS graced his living room carpet, Saturday night...not including repeat poets. the energy is always good in his house, and it shows. needless to say the poetry finally tapered off around 4:30 am Sunday morning, but of course the fun still ensued. about 20 poets found a spot to rest there heads, but uh no!! thanks to the lovely boys (and nicole) from Dallas!! it was like lil kids who couldn't go to sleep, so they wouldn't let anyone else sleep either...too funny, and we laughed so hard most of the morning...poor Element, still don't think he can breathe right!

sidenote: we have lost one of our great venues here down south. Free Verse Fridays @ the Continental Cafe in SA...the mic fell forever silent friday night.

Our beloved Tweetie (and his brisket) was noticeably absent from the house party, please send prayers his way even if you don't know him personally.

Every party, there has always been that one memorable moment. most times its some drunk ass peeing in a chair, getting thrown into an oven (seriously), but this time it was a connection of love...a new additon to our neo soul family. her name is Rockie. i think i have a bit of a crush on her.(geez) smile. besides her obvious physical beauty, she is beauty personified inside as well, and a passionate true poet. we first met her in Corpus (also a member of their team). She has been yearning for a connection with her own...seems it is lacking in Corpus...searching for a place to call home and the need for 'family'...not to say she doesn't have it with her team...but you know. what she experienced over the weekend was overwhelming for her--in a good way.
the need for connection and identity is a such a deep seeded craving. understood.
we got ya baby, we got ya!
like i said...most days...like saturday...it feels real good
and those are the days i try to remember the most.
