Arizona: Poets
We found some old video from 06 today. It’s just some video of different poets - Some local and some not. It was shot at South Mountain Community College (SMCC) in Phoenix, Arizona.
1st a bit about the school: SMCC is a cool (not so little) community college that sits almost at the base of South Mountain. It’s in the heart of South Phoenix (what used to be the Black side of town, but that’s another story). It’s been there for years. However, over the years as new homes were built and more tax dollars came in, the school also grew. It’s now home to an amazing state of the art performing art center and a diverse student population.
Some of the students and faculty got together and decided to pull together a slam competition and invited some well-known poets out for the event. It ended up being a hit with the students, poets and community…just a lot of love and support. I wish I could tell you who won, but I forget.
Many people do not know it, but Arizona has a strong spoken word community. Many of the local spots have been holding down various open mic nights for several years. We’ll try to pull together a list of some of the most popular hot spots for the poet lovers to check out if you’re ever in Arizona.
Just another example why you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Great Things Happening
Hey You!
It’s been some time since we’ve posted anything. We’ve been busy working on some great things. After a few months of testing different platforms, we have decided on one that is going to best serve our visitors providing a more interactive experience.
Until then, we ask that you hang in there for a couple more days. By Friday (maybe sooner) we’ll be announcing our new endeavor!
As for today we’re headed to the US Open. Peek in on us throughout the afternoon @haveAwonderful over at Twitter to find out what’s going on.
