I have discovered the origin and true meaning of the word “congratulations,” curious?

Marie Laforet covered my favorite Stones’ song….years ago!

Recent Colorado Show

I flew in to Grand Junction, CO last Friday for a show in Eagle-Vail on Saturday. The homie Ancient Mith picked me up from the airport and gave me a place to stay. We painted a bar with alcohol Friday night, big ups Jess-the-Roomie for hooking up the no tab action at the bar.
Listen, I will take the random shot of Chambord if it means I drink for free all night.

Saturday holmes drove us up the mountains to Eagle-Vail to do the show. I found out that both the Vail newspapers had done articles on me, the Vail Daily and the Vail Mountaineer.
Propers to both, the Daily did a full article and phone interview; the Mountaineer printed my bio.

The show was dope…although that crazy bastard Eeek-A-Mouse took away most of the crowd, along with The Killers. Dispite horrible and confusing sound Ancient Mith and I effectively killed it.

Randy not only hooked up this show but also gave us a comfortable place to stay Sat. night. We stayed up old school sleepover talking about how to use “viz a viz” improperly. Good times.

Sunday brought clear heads and a need for fresh air, so we hit the hot springs in Glenwood on the way back to Grand Junction. It was great…I was close to passing out in that sweet hot water.
Flew back Monday at noon.

I love, absolutely love, that I got to see two good friends and got paid to fly and rap somewhere.
Listen, I will take the random flight if it means I get to rap somewhere.

Loves it

and just the beat…

Vaily Daily News/Dream

So the article is up…here’s the linky linky.

Reflect June to bring his ‘guerilla poetry’ to Eagle-Vail

I think it’s good, not much of what I said was chopped up. She was way cool on the phone…
the only thing is it sounds like Ancient Mith is going to be a part of my set, and not doing his own.

Am very much looking forward to this show tomorrow.

As a side note, this morning I had the strangest dream.
Curious about me rambling about my dream?

Phone Interview

So…I just had a phone interview today w/ the entertainment editor for the Vail Daily News. Now can’t stop wondering how it will come out.
Will post when I get it.

Oh, and sorry I never wrote about Mario 2.
It’s a depressing story.
One that involves me not being able to get my Nintendo to turn on.

Super Mario Bros. 2

Quite possibly the best Nintendo game ever…and I have recently acquired it.
I’ll let you know if it lives up to my memory hype.

Neti Pot

My sister, mother, and I just had a neti pot party.
That’s all I really have to say about it…
except that now my sister is singing “Netiiii, oh Netiii” like it’s an old hymn.
