Now that the slam team is back from nationals in Texas, I can sit back and analyze how to improve on one of my favorite projects, the PicNap Poetry Series.
It's been a blessing to be able to associate with so many positive, talented folk. Somtimes the weekly series can be a bit of a drain... at least until I walk through the doors and see all those big smiles, to be greeted by even bigger hugs.
The homophobic, spiteful and jealous folk still hate, but they can't blunt the genuine energy that radiates from the Meetery Eatery every Friday. We truely celebrate all kinds of poetry and all kinds of folk. From gay to straight, to black or white, we embrace everyone who will embrace us without malice.
It's like a beacon to the sane who wish to avoid all the negativity in a city that seems to cherish it like a rosary to a nun. PicNap-Poetry is a bastion of truth, where real folk speak personal, and sometimes revolutionary.
I'm looking forward to 2007 already.
