Hey there friends, just wanted to post a quick update for my buddy John Brooks. He's entered in to a contest that's searching for the World's Greatest Salesperson which you can find out all about here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ogilvy. Anyway I was just able to get a look at his entry and I think it's a great bit and would appreciate you all lending him your support. So head on over to the ogilvy site and search for his entry by typing "redbrickdoesitall" in to the search and he should pop up for you to view and vote. In any case, here's the direct link to his sales pitch or view it below!

What's up ladies and gents. I just came back from Boston, MA where this year's College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational was held at Emerson College. It was an absolute blast and one of the finest organized events that I've been to in years. I also wanted to give a very huge shoutout to The Gringo Choir who debuted their show A Taste of the Atlantic at CUPSI this year. It was an amazing experience and it makes me all the happier to say that my favorites Carrie Rudzinski, Carlos Williams, Max Kessler and Steve Subrizi were the poets involved in the project. You can find out more about them at their brand spanking new website www.thegringochoir.com so go give them some love.

In other news, I have a new poem, Bust a Move inspired by the incomparable Jon Sands; you can find it in The Meadowland Review's inaugural double issue at www.themeadowlandreview.com along with some fantastic poetry of which I'm humbled to be published with. I've also recently been invited by Darian Dauchan to be a part of the Spoken Word Almanac Project this year, working on this project with me will be Justin Woo, Jared Singer, Joanna Hoffman, and Adam 'Shadokat' Bowser to name a few. The first show which will be the midyear show is going to be sometime in July and I'll have updates on that as I get more information. So please keep an eye out.

Also, don't forget that A Night with the Loserslam Family is coming up this April 23rd. That's the showcase featuring work from myself, Omar 'Ion' Holmon, Connor Dooley, Nicole Homer and Chad Anderson. That's all I have for now, but thank you all for your love and hugs. I hope to have a drink with you soon.
