Saul Williams at Borders 2.16.05
Wednesday 2.16.05
Saw Saul Williams at Wash U. He performed in Graham Chapel and it was packed. He did some poems and took questions from the audience. He said ” I saw on the flyer that I’m supposed to talk about the connection between hip hop and poetry.” And you could tell by the way he said it that he had no idea until he got there what he was supposed to be talking about. I aspire to that level of fame. When I show up places having no idea what I’m doing there. My assistant will just brief me on my way in where I am and what I’m supposed to be doing.
He did a book signing at Borders later that day and I went to that too. His new CD is pretty awesome.
Thursday 2.17.05
Saw the Non Prophets and then went to Uncle Bill’s with Draga, Andy and Mallarie.
Friday 2.18.05
Watched the new Henry Rollins DVD Shock and Awe. The sound quailty sucked and the editor seemed to be on coke for the first twenty minutes but still, it’s Henry Rollins and he’s the man. In the editor’s defense, it has to be difficil to cut three hours of Rollins’ segues and digressions into a 90 coherent minutes.
Went to ‘s 55th birthday party. , , , , , and were all in the house. Probably the less said about it the better. I will say that my boy is one cool mufucka. He’s like the butler to the Avengers (the comic book not the TV show) no manner of weirdness phases him.
Saturday 2.19.05
Me, Draga, Andy, Mallarie and AC went to a trivia night. When we had to name our team, me and Andy took turns coming up with the most politically incorrect names we could think of. It was put on my this Asian group to benifit tsunami relief, so extrapolate what you will…
Sunday’s kinda a blur and this week was fairly uneventful.
I LOVE Saul WIlliams. I caught him here in Dallas a year or two ago. Unfortunately I missed him when he came back last summer.
…so extrapolate what you will…
If this is a contest, then my guess is “The Wet Nips”.
If not, forget I said anything.
Oh that’s worse than anything we came up with.
You win.
Yeah. He’s the man.
I realize that your friend kokovitch says the user pic used is old… but, um, yum.
That’s all. 🙂
He actually looks much better now, but not as gothy.
The hair? Tell me he still has the hair.
Yeah, but it’s not dyed black, cause, ya know, the 90s are over.
I’m fine with natural colored hair. 😛 He’s just looks pettable… you’re totally going to tell him that, aren’t you?
You’re a smart ass… but that’s why I adore you.
Uh… I’ll prolly just let him read it… You know the iternet doesn’t work like a the telephone. It’s not a private two way conversation…
Let me read it? Like I need your permission now to use the internet?
Smart ass 🙂
I mean “let” in the passive sense, as in not to obstruct you from reading it (i.e. deleting the posts or screening them) as opposed to “telling” you in the active sense (calling you on the phone and saying “hey Scott, there’s this chick in California who thinks you’re hot).
Bitch.
