Nu poet Collective
An e-mail just arrived. It look a little like this:
"Since 2003, there has been rhythmic undercurrent slowing evolving on the Lansing underground art scene. Sing, Speak or Spit, a Nu poet Collective production, was born out of a necessity to let Poetry’s voice speak without interruption. This eclectic movement provides an open platform for raw expression every second Sunday of the month at Gregory’s Ice & Smoke in Lansing Michigan. Infusing music, song, abstract and interpretive art and whatever else is necessary to express movement of thought, this monthly event, draws crowds of spoken word enthusiasts with it’s relaxing lounge vibe and verbally clever rebellion.
WHAT: Nu poet Collective invites poets, musicians, performers and just those who want to hear something different to share with us. THERE WILL BE OPEN MIC FOR ALL.
WHEN: December 11, 2005, Sunday. (Please note that Sing, Speak or Spit will be on every third Tuesday starting January 16, 2006). Doors open at 7:30. 21+ after 9:00 pm.
WHERE: Gregory's Ice and Smoke, 2150 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Lansing, MI 48906 (517-323-7122). Sorry, no credit cards. Cover is $5.00.
Last year we helped the Make A Difference Foundation and raise $150.00 to take needy families shopping for Christmas. A portion of the proceeds from December 11, will go to the Make A Difference Foundation and a portion will go towards helping a personal friend of many who is the sole breadwinner of his family of 6 and he had an accident which left him with hospital bills and out of work.
Come out and support!!!

For those of you in the Lansing area, please think of attending and showing your support not only for our Make A Difference Foundation but also for our dance, music, song, chanting, poetry, abstract and interpretive art scene. You rock, Rina!
