Locally: My big bash is coming up Aug. 11th, if you are in town please come by. My good friend and artist Yvonne Zepeda will be organizing it. I also have a new cell number and calls are free from pc to pc if you have a Google Talk Beta but you need a gmail account and a microphone headset. Email me if you have any questions.

Thursday, July 26th, I will be supporting poet and friend SCEF (pronounced with a hard K) at Mojo Rising for poetry. Check out his website: poetryishiphop.

Check out my art at the Starbucks off 249 and Antoine. I have 3 pieces from my light photography, 5 poems, and 4 abstract paintings. Thank you to Mr. T. Smith, manager, for his continued support. Please stop by and show your latte love.

I LOVE my financial planners. Thanks to their help I should be credit card free within a year and a half. They are honest, reached at any time and knowledgeable: Kyle Sadler at Valic and the Moore Insurance Group.
