I have been hosting now for nearly a month, having two open mics under my belt and one slam. What I've learned so far:1 - i really should have thought about it before i took the job on.
2 - no matter how much you run, there will always be that one person who feels the need to constantly remind you that they are in the room and have not read, or must read next, etc.
3 - you cannot enjoy a meal, even if you arrive 1 hour prior to the show start.. see number 2.
4 - you cannot make a person hot no matter who you sandwich them between.
5 - someone always wants to read twice, even when you say there is no more room or not enough time.
6 - it's better not to carry the list with you so that people don't constantly look over your shoulder. see number 2.
7 - do something nice weekly for element 615 'cuz he will save your ass each and every time.
8 - i really should have thought about it before i took the job on.
9 - no matter what you do, how you do it, someone is going to think that you did something wrong.
Ainsley was an incredible feature. Twain was hot as always. I absolutely love both men's poetry and style. And Twain is absolutely adorable. I miss Jai Byrd already and it hasn't been a month. Mike Guinn was OH MY GOSH.. his new piece is unbelievable.. so glad he stopped thru. see everyone on wednesday... i am working on making the show better, stronger, faster,... (borrowed from the six million dllar man).. holla...

I LOOOOOVES YA!! Anyone who can sing Debarge outta no where is alright with me. :) There is something wierd with the crowd right now. Even when poets are hot, they are quiet...so, me and B fran will keep yelling from the audience. You keep doin what you are doin--singing, actin a fool and helpin get some hot features...and the crowd will have to get on board!!!!!!
