Hey, nice to meet you too!

Now by curfew, you mean married or underage? Which either, I can understand. Luckily the misses is pretty lax so long as I tell her 'about' what time I'll be back, LOL!

I used to go to spoken word events in NYC while I lived in New Jersey. I was at a networking mixer last week and someone happened to mention it so I decided to check it out and was glad I did. It was some good stuff. Alot of positive messages that IMO, more people need to hear, of every race and class. I liked thier new wave twist to it. Back in the day (before my time, beatniks as Torog said) the audience would snap their fingers when they heard something they like. At this place, you hold open your cellphone and 'give them the light' when you like what you hear. Very cool...great food too! I think that's what I enjoyed, it was a complete night.....got there around 9 and had a couple of drinks, grabbed a table and had a salad with some friend chicken bites, then had a smoothy later on. All while listening to a great house band and some powerful words.

But hey, if you get out this way, look me up. I'm still trying to meet people although everyone I've come across so far has been pretty friendly. Being gone from the South for so long, trying to get back to my roots.
