Java Monkey and the Grass Nap Cover

On Sunday night, I competed in the team selection finals for a spot on the Atlanta slam poetry team. The night was crazy. The power on the entire street went out. Twice. The first time delayed the slam half an hour. Crazy. I ended up placed fifth, which makes me the team alternate. If all goes according to plan, then, I will get to attend the National Poetry Slam this year as part of the Atlanta entourage. Sweet! Ahead of me in the slam—that is, Atlanta team members for 2009—were (are):

• Gypsee Yo
• Miss Haze
• Mista Funn
• Fit

I can't remember if that's the order they placed. I think so.

On an entirely different note, I am finishing up my next album. Over the weekend, I finished all necessary recording. All that is left is mixing, and perhaps some other minor tweaks. It should be done relatively soon. My newest tidbit is the album cover.



It was designed by a friend of mine, Lawrence. You should look at some of his other art.
