Its been too long since i updated this blog but im going attempt to do better. instead of making this some long entry, im going to keep it quick and sweet with an update.
Update:
1. Before a tour date in Atl, a chapbook was put together, Life Lessons Vol 1. i actually sold and traded a couple at the ArtAmok gig in Atl. i so heart the ArtAmok crew for taking a chance on me. if you every get the chance to go down there, i suggest that you do...its beautiful.
2. im now part of the JK Publishing family. the company is responsible for publishing the work of Jon Sands and William Evans. it is truely and honor to be associated with such great writers.
3. i didnt make the STL Slam Team this year. it sucks in a way, but then again it could be a blessing. it let me know that more work needs to be put into writing. i was getting by with the same three pieces. while this might be ok for some, its not for me. im going back into the lab to write....i just have to find the inspiration. im not even upset about missing Nats this year.
4. did some studio work for an ep. studio work is NO joke, i thought it would be easy to just go in and do the poems and move on. nope, i kept messing up and messing up, it was crazy. I am determined to have this cd finished by the end of the summer. im thinking there will be 5 or 6 tracks on the cd, mixing the old with the new. it should be interesting.
5. attended Southern Fried Poetry Slam in Nc. it took some of the sting out of not making the slam team. I rolled down there with Poets in the Streets from Arkansas. we had a nice squade which consisted of Mo-Man and TJ from Arkansas, Kosher from OK, and myself. i dont know where we finished as a team but we made couple of the squads that went to finals, sweat! i was really proud of our guy TJ for making it to indies final stage....and winning it ALL!! I cheered for him so much, i lost my flippin voice! it was worth it though..
thats pretty much things. im late, i have work in the AM...so im outta here. not before i take a shower though, i watched the BET Awards and feel rather dirty!
