I was filled with excitement before it started until after the warm up game. I having a great time playing with Godsent’s beautifully goregous nena, Joy, was expecting this excitement to continue throughout a God and Jesus focused open mic.
Although it was also a birthday party, it was still a heavenly filled night by those who performed. My favorite though was the StreetHipHop Ministry with Cypha IX… he really knew how to command a room and bless the stage. I was inspired to write more performable religious spoken word. Unfortunately, I dont think many people were there for the right reasons…

Don’t just stand and stare and don’t move… you knew where you were going so act like it. Worship and praise the lord through art and music… don’t act like a rock… be an audience..

ENOUGH RAMBLING…
poetically blessed,
Simone Nikkole

The line up:

~ Pinot Grigio & Fettacini Alfredo
~ Merlot & Pasta bergonaise
~ White Zinfandel & some vegetable pasta (didn’t like it… blocked the name out… lol)
~ Port wine & fried dessert ravoli

I loved the first two pastas, hated the merlot ( like everyone at my table), and loved the White Zinfandel (its one the list of drinks i drink… i rarely deviate). I didn’t have the Port Wine because the gracious waiter did not give it to me because i was driving home… Thank God because it was raining animals once i got closer home and i couldn’t see! Anyway… the fried ravioli was like “I will work for food!” So i enjoyed the gelato on the side and the chocolate covered berries….

It was nice seeing Rachelle again and networking with people. But i am really surprised that people really need so much CP time to get an event full. I couldn’t believe it. An hour and 45 min late cushion! Come on people we have to be better than that! Especially for a classy event…

Sippin’ some zinfandel,
Simone Nikkole aka Azúcar
