how sweet it is

jam on it -- another SOLD OUT SHOW!

the lineup was crazy!

samantha raheem, big mike, ainsley burrows and rives!

they all ripped it - in half. jive kicked his new erotic sensation: suspended animation and i worked with scraps for the soul (food). then we had the most beautiful openers including Urban Word's own Elizabeth Acevedo. YO she's only 17 and pure fire, trust me! then we had my people's all the way from Miami (for a wedding and still rep'n) will da real one! how gangsta was it? just as the fire department that was called - as not only was it crazy, it was crazy hot! we were also blessed with MONA from the baton rogue poetry scene, who was there to visit, but enlightened us of the NOLA status. she described the tragedy with more horror than newspapers and tv could allow. it was painful. and real. and we pulled an auction together for her just to send some dough home with this sista. cause she was in the trenches, and needed to know NY cares.

it was an incredible night. it really was. i sound like a maniac, i know. but it was so dope - i wanted to start all over again just to experience it like the first time. lol

much love to all ya'll that came out -- especially my favorite college student in the whole world, ms AJA and ALL OF SARAH LAWRENCE college! they rep'd so hard and picked up chairs before and after -- it was beautiful. our video department (yea, JAM ON IT is doing it big kid) ENZO & ASKIA, much love for all the hard work! fa real! ms COURT for helping when we needed it the most. we also had my girl AMANDA DIVA rep'n -- definitely a sista of the pen. NATHAN P of NUYORICAN fame and so many others in the building. and i've fallen numb -- need more sleep, i'm sure. will get back to you

cuddle more
