All I can say is wow...I had fun last night @ Java Head. Mad illpoets rolled through: Dana, Sir, Takia, Brandi, and of course Drew (seeing as tho' he hosts the damn thing every Thursday faithfully). I opened up the set for a change due to my earlier than normal arrival...and for the record Drew, I didn't start coming late until the set started crackin' off around 9:00, shit, may as well get a little bit of Smackdown here and there...or something like that :o) Jumped the set off with two new pieces, I think folks were feelin' it, but if not, wouldn't be the first time. Oh, the dude Drew has been raving about for the past two weeks, Wel, was indeed off the hook. Shit, between me and Drew, we need to do a talent search for the real def poets and get paid for it. I could make a line up that would embarass Russell Simmons...Patrick Washington is on our side tho'! Aw, man, the love in Java Head is like no other...reminiscent of when the Mangos crowd was always the same core of cats rollin' thru from week to week. Still love Mangos, but I LOVE Java Head, y'dig? We had fun crackin jokes, and even did an impromptu theme which hasn't been done in a while: "Fuck Love". Oh, it was fun, but Dana did the official set it off joints for the night that started it all. The wild part is that despite the theme, it was still nothin' but love. A bunch of poetic folks exhaling their bitterness...ah, it was fun. Looking forward to my feature @ Urban Energy this Saturday, perhaps some Java Heads will come thru to support. Never know...
