06/11/2004 Entry: "Nyfa reading"
Last night was very cool. The reading at AAWW went really well. I got to read in front of a mostly new audience. I also got to read in front of some of the other NYFA winners and I got to hear them read as well. IT was cool to hear them because you can't help but wonder about these things.
I read a new piece for Ray Charles who passed away yesterday. I created a found poem out of the song titles of the three CDs I own of his. I gotta work on it a bit. i also re-edited a piece that's not too old and then I did my old piece which was one of the poems I submitted for the NYFA. It was really good to see my friends come out Oscar, Jessica, Rich, Omar and even Bonafide for a minute in the beginning. Thanks.
Afterwards was cool as we all went to MCDonalds and talked for two hours about everything from politics to the nerd slam coming up next thursday at the Bowery Poetry Club. I am excited.
Today is the first of the three year end shows at the high schools that I work at. I am nervous because I have invited a lot of important people to come and see them and they need to go well. The students are great so I have little doubts, but the doubts I do have are giving me a stomach ache.
Todays song of the day is about summer which is upon us:
its called "Gatekeeper" by Feist from the album Let it Die
