New Book Released!

[scottwoods]

My new book - Watering Hole: Juke Joint Poems - is out and can be purchased online now through the publisher, Rewriting Ovid, right here!

It's a book I'm really proud of.  It's fun, it's engaging and I love a good theme.  This is my second themed collection of poems (the long-out of print Egyptian Slow Jam Tape being the first).  At $5.80 (including

Ho hum.

Yeah yeah yeah. New book, 24 hour feature, blah blah blah. We all know you're spectacular. Enough already.

Let's get to the important stuff. What did you end up titling "Food Network"?????

(and thank you, truly, for using it in the 24 hours at LeWoods...even you ahd to rechristen me "not a slam poet" to do it.)

lol...I called it "Food Network". At that point in the show, I didn't have the brain power to come up with a title.

Another popular quote of mine two days before the show:
"Does it have a poem in it? Then I can't look at it."

I don't see you as a slam poet, so you made the cut.

I shall be purchasing this, of course...

...congrats on surviving the poetry bataan death march or whatever you called it. ;)

That picture on the cover is awesome. I want it to be the cover of my first single but you beat me to it. However, you gave me ideas. *laughing*

Awesomeness all around. *hug*

I think this is the year we should do a tag-team downtempo/hip hop/dub session and throw it during Nationals. I'll bring the gear, you bring the rekkids and CDs and we'll throw down.

Not that you'll be busy as hell already, but I think it would be awesome to see a live set from the Groove Locker. :D
(yes, I am serious, I like to spend my money on fun things)

Picture was all Louise.

That would be awesome...

Tell Louise that she's totally awesome beans (as if you haven't told her already) - I love that picture.

Let me know what I need to do to schedule this music thing and I"ll do it. I'm already playing down in Savannah at cheesy_goodness' coffee house during the festival there at the end of April (she so rocks) and I'm getting my sweet PA next week (along with the hard cases for the pieces). The Savannah run will tell me how it all goes and what to tweak for a trip gig via airline to the city.

This week is turning out awesome. *bounce*

Looking forward to playing records with a fellow music lover. Gigs with people who really really love their music (as opposed to doing it for attention, hookups, whatever they do it for) is always my favorite. :)

This is where I friend you.

You can find poems only (or mostly) on my LJ.

I have finally had the time to really read this book. Scott, is there anything you can't do? I honestly think it's wonderful.

[scottwoods]

Yeah: dance.

Thank you!
