I slept in today, i was physically drained from being up since Thursday. i slept for a couple of hours on the plane but it wasnt enough.....my goal had been to wake up, print a couple of poems and create a book for tonights performance. i really need to get a chapbook together...
The performance was at Coffee Empire, an old box car turned into a coffee house...it
was tight, comfy, beautiful and dope! Taz and i, went back and forth performing for an audience of maybe 20 people...stalking the aisle like poetic bandits. we held the people hostage, relieved them of their boxed in lives, feed poetry to their souls. with the smoke cleared, the few thanked us, the asian guy and the black guy for bring our words to them. and tonight, the spirit of Shannon Leigh present pushing us forward...i talked about Shannon before doing the Shannon tribute piece, which inspired Taz, to share his memories of her and to do a piece.
i enjoyed tonights performance more than last nights...and even though i flubbed a couple of lines, it didnt bother me. Taz, even mentioned that i appeared more relaxed. i felt connected with the audience, maybe it was the size of the venue, or maybe i WAS just more relaxed.
whatever the reason, it was fun.
Today....the radio interview but listen to it on the net: kzfr.org at 1:30pm that would be 3:30pm in the midwest and 4:30pm on the east
