Underground Family,
Last Thursday at the UPS was a very powerful and inspirational show. It is amazing when you enter into some one’s life and hear their story how blessed you feel. Mos Def once said on def poetry jam,”if we all threw our problems in a circle, some of us will go get our problems back and go get some more problems. I would like to thank YOU for being in the building last Thursday, all the poets who touched the stage, esp. Marquis, India, and Simone for sharing their story, and our great host Mic tha Poet.
Things to look out for:
Verbal Blend Poetry Slam

Agame is probably one of the funniest poets at the Underground. If you need a good laugh with great poetic words, PLEASE make sure you are there for his performance.
