i am way excited about a piece i recorded. i'm uploading it on my new myspace music page. doorman j and i recorded it weds night. it's spossed to be called "The Personal Ads and This Time its Personal", but i'm gonna call "Shit Got Fucked UP" for the time being. J tweaked it out and added a bassline and it sounds very NIN after a while. i had a blast hanging out w/him. the dude cooks a mean curry.
last night's lip show was such a peculiar experience. The Spot is an awesome venue. the place is cozy and the staff is super sweet. the turnout was impressive. the problem was the open mic. we'd been blessed w/really quality poets, then last night, the mic struggled. Kurt Heintz was awesome and there were a coupla other solid folx, but most of the mic was rough and there weren't "go to" poets to bring the energy up. on top of that, i started the show by playing the new track i recorded and the levels sucked. the bass was heavy and it made the whole thing hard to hear. then some earth dude went on for 10 minutes and others went long, so lisa buscani didn't even perform. Mike Kadela and Dave Awl were both rad. Mike really impressed me cuz i ain't seen him feature before. i have high hopes for future Lip shows.
the ensemble is doing a show tomorrow that i would love to do, but i always have family and personal stuff to do on weekends. its the only time i can have QT w/my family and beth and i feel bad for being part-time when it comes to poetry, but i made a decision a while back that i'm not gonna be a full-time poet. its why i'm glad every show i'm a part of is only once a month.
my new place is slowly comin' along. i got electricity now.
umm, that's it.
