Just a little update, my artist and I have finished the additions for the book. YAY! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully the book will be finished and on shelves before my birthday! Keep looking out for it and my book signings.

Although the crowd was small, I made a few contacts. I met a comedian, Kenneth, that was willing to help me at my future shows and signings and another poet, Buckwheat, who will be performing at Bowery next month. Buckwheat is having an event in February to benefit her organization, Behind the Book. It seems like a great organization that encourages youth to strife, be better, and become inspired; JUST WHAT I AM ALL ABOUT. So sure enough, I will be there in February. I was also challenged to write a poem about the trees of the Abigail stage. Look forward to that within the next couple of weeks.

On another note, I noticed I haven’t opened the spoken word section yet. That is my project for this weekend. This way I can organize these posts better and have my open mic schedule up for you all to see and support.

So… Next Monday- Getting inspired at the NYK Poetry Slam at the Nuyorican

Next Tuesday I am listening in and hoping to be inspired at Bowery

Next Wednesday is Abigail’s again.

Hasta Luego y Buena noche mi gente, 1 luv!

Ok so I said I would come up with my time slot for Abigail’s in Brooklyn… well the open mic starts at 8p. I am trying to get on between 8 and 9; there is no sign up prior to the event. If you would like to come out and support, I will be reading some poems from “My Journey through Poetry” and related poems. Hopefully I can do a set of 4 poems. I’ll fill you in on how it went after the event is over.

I am anxious and excited…

Until tomorrow night

I found an open mic spot! I may start performing at Abigail’s (Classon Ave, Brooklyn) as soon as this wednesday. I may read from my book and perform some old stuff. I’ll fill you in on my time slot tomorrow!

Just wanted to drop in and give you a quick update!

Hola mi gente! Sorry I haven’t posted since Aug. I just finished a semester at Columbia University. During my time of Psychological enlightening through my counseling and multiculturally filled classes, I haven’t had time to perform. I hope the next year and a half will continue to be inspiring and help me with my expression.

Anyway, I tried to go to a spoken word spot in Brooklyn but they discontinued their open mics. Hopefully between the holidays and work I can do some performances in Manhattan. The artist hunt still continues so I am shooting for a May of MJTP release now… I know I hate keeping you all waiting. I also have found some new inspiration for an upcoming manuscript, He Spoke. I can’t wait to be working on TO: Azucar full time, especially during the holiday season; it’s always full of love.

1 love,
SN

There also has been a lil derailing as it comes to the pictures. I planned to have my book in print today (Aug 1, at the latest) but due to some unforseen circumstances (very much to my distain) I am still waiting on some pictures.
I’ll keep you posted as always. Thank you for the support!

I have finally started getting a set ready to perform at open mics around NYC. I will be performing starting next week. I was hoping to start this weekend but I am still proofing the pictures for the book. I know it is taking forever! I will let you know my open mic schedule once it comes about so keep checking in!

its all love,
Simone Nikkole
