At times life is an uphill battle as I continue to push towards new ideas and ventures. The opening night of Indigo Lounge was truly powerful, inspirational and educational. The room was filled with an eclectic mix of groovy people and good vibes. We celebrated an evening of Black history and love for the month of February. We started it with a libation, which is a African ritual to honor and respect those who came before us. It was a magic carpet ride through book passages and historic lessons in the name of spoken word and jazz. I'll be videotaping shows on youtube and you can go to my vlog for more details.. http://www.youtube.com/user/piddlepromo

Piddle Productions and The Young Poetry Society are putting together a Black History program for Long Beach City College. I am excited, nervous and at times have my doubts if we will be able to pull this off. These young scholars are amazing and I enjoy mentoring young minds. However, it's harder than I expected. What's weird is the creative part is never hard, but getting creative folks coordinated is the killer. I don't know what I got myself into.hehehe. Screw it...I am always down for good challenge. I'll keep you posted. The next Indigo Lounge is March 7th. We are celebrating "WomEns MonTh" with an all female jazz band and female featured poets that will blow your mind! Check out the band!

Polyhymnia (paul-lim-nia) is a group of all female musicians who play their music to make you groove. Each member has a rather extensive background in jazz and classical music. They are not afraid to reach out of their comfort zone and try new things. All members of Polyhymnia are music majors who attend either Cal State Northridge or Cal Arts.

Nudity, Empowerment and Simplicity

This is an awesome picture from a Los Angeles event called "Naked Desert." It is an invite only- annual event for photographers and nude models in the middle of the desert. The theme is, Celebrating the Diversity of the Human Body. I was honored to be the first person (ever) to film this event, as it all magically unfolds. I made a documentary about this unbelievable experience. I am in post production. I would love to screen it soon. Please feel free to donate to Piddle Productions [there is a link to the right] so that I can continue to give you cutting edge entertainment for the soul, open mind and free spirited. Due to popular demand the play WOMBAN is coming back to a theatre near you in Los Angeles! As you all know Womban did its first run in June. As the Stage Manager it was hard work, but with everyones commitment and dedication it became such an uplifting and humbling experience for everyone involved. If you did not get a chance to see it please come out this t

The Dalai Lama tells us to stop expecting life to be easy. Life is full of suffering and is ultimately unsatisfying; The only way to be happy is to train your mind to want less and to train your mind to penetrate the ultimate reality. I am rolling into the year with new hope and ideas. I have been invited to be one of the inspirational speakers at the L.A. Union Workers, "Womens Month Program." I am excited and nervous, but it feels good to be part of a great cause. My dreams have been vivid and seem to be telling me stories of my past. I've been writing like maddd. I feel the birth of a new poem! I've also been invited on a poetry performance tour at the end of the year. I'll have to string you along before I tell you my biggest project of the year. So stay connected. Indubitably, Indigo Lounge is going to be delightful on February 7th. The line up is SSicK! Join us for love and Black History Month. Get in contact with me if you would like to perform. We do th
