So ...


After I hit up Urban Word, Myself and some fellow poet friends of mine ( 2008 Knicks Poetry Slam Runner Up and 2008 Grand Slam Finalist Alexis Marie, 2007 Knicks Poetry Slam WINNER and 2008 Grand Slam Finalist Carvens Lissaint, and 2008 Urban Word NYC Grand Slam Finalist Reynold), Hit up the closest McDonalds *yum*on West 27th. We ate (well at least three of us did Alexis just had a cone), we laughed, most importantly ... WE GAVE A DAMN FREE SHOW. What was our main intentions of just a simple ghetto workshop between the four of us to better ourselves as performers and refine our craft as we recited our poems, little did we know that we started to have people amazed by the words spoken. So with that said, we immediately wrapped up our practice due to Carven's relentless attitude of excitement, and performed guerilla style, right in the dining room of a McDonald's. As people walked passed us to get to the bathroom, we all still kept great focus on our performances. It was a great time! We met some cool ass people as well (some drunk ones too). I even remember one of the people we met telling us he was having a pretty rough day until he saw us perform and heard the words and hope we spoke through the vessel of God. Poetry inspires ya'll.

* Videos of the performances after the cut ... but heres more PICTUUURES !!!!!


Savages.



Carven's eats Alexis' PIE !!! (smh at Reynold's face).


Work time, No more Play.


I'm inspired by those "Lights".


I'm on my way home now. Good Bye.
