Jimmy Kimmell misses the old pastime of telling scary stories and figures a fellow named Ghostface Killah must have some good ones..

Happy Halloween

So Ranik and Chosen, together making up POETRY TO THE PEOPLE, brought the house down last night…luckily we were sheltered Underground at tha spot!!!

These two poets have been performing as a group for 5 years and bring over 15 yrs of combined spoken-word experience. They bring positivity and reason to the stage and inflict positive change with their words of love, courage, and inspiration. Together and as solo artists they are helping wage tha war on apathy, complacency, and ignorance…I commend them for tha path they have “chosen”….or more probable – I applaud them for accepting tha task they were chosen for…

…and I thank them for being patient and paying close attention to our open mic poets..these guys are reals students and fans of spoken-word, Ranik was taking pictures of every poet up there, and Chosen always appears to be digesting every word uttered by his fellow poets. They are great people bearing great messages, I look forward to seeing them again, and y’all should do tha same…
