New Orleans Poets and Soul
Survivors of Hurricane Katrina perform live in South
Florida
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Lao Tzu
In the case of the
amazingly talented Spoken Word Artists from New Orleans this saying is bitter
sweet for they not only know how to "fish" they have perfected the craft.
It is in the aftermath of Katrina that they like countless others now
need to get their rods back. In an effort to support these poets, members
of South Florida's Spoken Word Community invite you to be a part of
our relief effort by supporting Mello Mondays, 1st & 3rd
Wednesdays and the Jook Joint. As they showcase members of the New
Orleans National Slam team October 17th thru December 21st
2005
Each poet will be featured
at the above venues over a one week period where they will be given the
opportunity to perform and sell product. We will also be accepting
donations specific to each poets needs. We are urging the South Florida
community to come out in support of these poets. As a community we
know first hand about the devastations of hurricanes and the hardship of putting
the pieces back together. Your attendance and your financial support is
welcomed and appreciated as these poets many with families and financial
obligations attempt to put the pieces of their life back
together.
This is a combined effort
being made by On The B Side, Verbal Visions Records, Proctor Management and Daed
Sports & Marketing with the support of Natural Trend Setters,
Slanted-Eye.com and Transit Designs
