Fool that I am, I’m hoping that folks can get out to the Crimson Moon this coming Wednesday, the 6th of February.
I’m going to be moving away, and I’d like to see people before I go. I’m going to try to hit the stage
for the open mic on the night of the Klute’s feature at the reading, so please come, if you can! The Klute, of course, is certainly reason enough to get your behinds off the couch and come out for a night of poetry, drink, and comraderie – but, come also so that I can see you before I go.
I don’t know when I’ll be back again.

Tonight we have a special feature poet with us, we have Shannon Leigh coming to be with us, all the way from Atlanta, Georgia! Shannon Leigh is a hip-hop/spoken word artist out of Austin, TX. She is the 3-time champion and 4-time team member of the U21S Slam, 4-time finalist in the Austin Slamoff, has performed in Austin, San Antonio, Conroe, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cambridge, Atlanta, and Cape Town, South Africa, and has shared the stage with the likes of Saul Williams, Jared Paul, Sage Francis, Taalam Acey, Matthew John Conley, Da’Shade Moonbeam, Earth Raiders, Blacklisted and Public Offenders. She has performed with Sage Francis in Las Vegas, NV and featured at DemocracyFest 2005 in Austin, TX at Stubb’s BBQ, performed at the National Poetry Slam and is featured on Season 6 of Def Poetry Jam. Shannon made it all the way to the Finals stage at the 2007 National Poetry Slam in Austin, Texas. And to think that only a measly $2 at the door, and a measly $5 minimum purchase will get you in! Where else are you going to get a cultural value meal like that on a Wednesday night in Wilmington, seriously?

Someone Else Come & Take This Country; We Obviously Have No Idea What We’re Doing At All

Since, you know, we clearly have no idea how to conduct ourselves and take care of our own.

Even though all politics is meaningless, and politicians and warriors mean nothing to me because they refuse to acknowledge me, I think this man’s point here is valid.

I really hope that you all can make it to the POETRY SLAM that’s happening this Wednesday night, at 8 pm, at the
Crimson Moon Tavern (located at 6th & Union Streets) in Wilmington, Delaware! This slam promises to be a knock-down, drag-out, bloody verbal battle for the top of the poetic heap! I know that I plan on competing, and I plan on putting up a good fight and making the other poets WORK for their victory, and, also, a little “birdie” told me that there will be a couple of BRAND NEW FACES coming out to the slam to TEST THEIR METTLE! What else would you be doing on a Wednesday night? Watching TV? Clipping your toenails?
Where and when and how does all of this happen, you ask?
Here ya go:

Craig, Sunny Lane, Texas, Toy Recall, XXX | 1 CommentWent to the reading tonight and “debuted” <- I have problems with the word to the left of the arrow – > 2 new poems, “Strong Little Bird” and “Paramecium”. Things went well, although there weren’t a lot of people there. We really need to get our asses in gear if the reading is going to make it into the next year thriving.
My eyes hurt; I think my glasses are messing up my eyes in some way.

So, the time is now 7:25 pm and I’m hanging out over at the home of my friends/slam teammates Matt, Hannah, and Nigel. We’re driving down to the Baltimore Airport at 2 am to fly off to Texas for the 2007 National Poetry Slam. I’m nervous, thoughtful, excited, fearful, happy, pensive, tired, hungry, and ready. This will be my first flight since my return flight to Delaware (which was in late August of ‘01).
I can’t wait to see old friends. I can’t wait to make new friends.
And to hear some tremendous poetry and have a good time in the best place to be in the state of Texas.
