Hi beautiful people,

Hot off the road from an amazing weekend of performances with Bao Phi in Philly, DC, and NYC, Catzie and I will be performing together as Yellow Rage (first time this fall season) this Sun afternoon at the Light & Honey Multi-Arts Festival, sponsored by APIARY Magazine and the In Light of Unity Association.  We'll be sharing a wonderful day of poetry with great artists, such as Lamont Steptoe, Sham-e-Ali al-Jamil, Ms. Wise, Mason, and my absolute favorites--On Point, Ink and my daughter, Myong  :)  Please come check us out at the University City Arts League, 1-6pm (I think we go on around 4:15).

BAO PHI has been a performance poet since 1991. A two-time Minnesota Grand Slam champion and a National Poetry Slam finalist, Bao Phi has appeared on HBO Presents Russell Simmons Def Poetry. His poems are widely published numerous publications including Screaming Monkeys, Spoken Word Revolution Redux and the 2006 Best American Poetry Anthology. He has also released several CDs of his poetry, such as the recently sold-out Refugeography to his newest CD, The Nguyens EP. He has performed as a featured artist and speaker in over a hundred venues and schools across the country, from the Nuyorican Poets Café to the University of California, Berkeley.

Currently he continues to perform across the country, remains active as an Asian American community organizer, writes a popular and provocative blog on the Twin Cities’ Star Tribune's Your Voices community blog, and works at the Loft in Minneapolis, where he creates and operates programs for artists and audiences of color.

I will try to get the info up for the SULU NYC show by the end of the week, but it's at the Bowery Poetry Club, Sun, Sept. 19, 2010.  Show starts at 8pm.  I believe admission is $10.

The SULU NYC show is extra-special b/c it's their 5-Year Anniversary and will be their last monthly SULU show.  Please come and say good-bye to an important, path-blazing monthly series which high-lighted Asian American artists and gave APIA audiences a space we could call our own.

Hope to see you!

Love,
Michelle

Whose City? Philly Fringe Festival Show

Hello Beautiful Peoples,

OMG, where the hell have I been?  While Catzie has been having many exciting adventures in Mpls/St. Paul, I have been laying low and trying to regain some sanity and order to my life.  Though that hasn't happened to my satisfaction yet, I'm happy to say that poetry is my saving grace as always.

So, yeah, I'm in this year's Philly Fringe show, yall!  The opening night was actually last Fri. And my dear friend Kao Kue is also performing.  And I'm hella late with this announcement.  But there's still 2 more shows--I perform again on Fri night, Sept 10.  Please come if you can--admission is only $5!

Special thanks to the Media Mobilizing Project for putting together this show and for choosing me.

Hope to see you!

Love,
Michelle
