Welcome Big Calhoun,

You're the first person I've seen mention spoken word, I've become a fan of the spoken word when I heard Dasan Ahanu on NPR. It's some powerful prose. It would be great to experience it first hand, I just don't get into Dallas tho. There's a drum circle too in Dallas that I'd like to attend, but their hours are from 10pm till the wee hours of the morning...kinda past my curfew LOL.
