hand tossed deep dish poetry
I was away from teh internets, the past few days (camping)...but I did want to mention that I had fun featuring at the Mesa Slam, last week. I think it was a pretty good set. A few other notes from that night:

1. The place is pretty funky, but it was cool. I thought it had more of a Grand Ave. vibe.

2. Jonathan's "Real Doll" piece is great.

3. Tufik and I were told that we would have extremely photogenic children together, if we were able to reproduce.

4. I was happy to see that Joseph Nieves came out to hear to me. I havent seen him forever and he was always one of my favorites. I would have liked to also hear him slam, but I guess he wasn't in a performing mood.

5. Of all the bizarre and crazy events that I tend to perform at, I probably get more nervous about featuring at a Slam. I feel more out-of-my-element there, than I do at bars, laundromats and churches! So it was helpful to see some friendly faces and everyone there (even the people who I didn't know) made me feel very welcome. It was much appreciated.

6. Even though it's wayyy on the other side of town from me, I intend to come back every once in awhile.
