what it do family...my weekend at a glance:
Friday and Saturday:
worked the real job and the club. Mannie Fresh had a birthday at the club Friday so there was a nice crowd. Mannie didnt have the 'superstar' attitude and came across as a down to earth brother.
Sunday:
Went to see Eric Roberson perform. this was my third time seeing Eric perform but the first time seeing him perform with his own band. the crowd was small but Erro and the band put on a damn good show (his guitar player, showed his AZZ!). the highlight of the show was a cover of 'BEAT IT' that had everyone standing.
second highlight of the show was ME performing a piece before Erro took the stage. between acts, the MC asked if anyone wanted to sing or spit some poetry. well, two poets and one singer later, i got on the mic to do a piece. it fun and felt so very good!
Monday:
my favorite poet, Nikki Giovanni, will be here reading from her latest book. My mother, daughter and i will be attending together, which should be fun to hangout with my two favorite ladies. it was my mother that got me into Nikki and i have gotten my daughter into Nikki. i dont know which of us is the most excited about attending the reading,lol....more about it later.
onelove,
Copa
