When we arrived in the twin cities, we first went to St. Paul. There was an open mic at this place called The Artist's Quarters, which was this really cool little jazz bar that they held open mic's and poetry slams at. They allowd you a seven minute set to do whatever you wanted. Me and Deann split our time for the set, she did My Muse, I did Faceless. It was a really cool open mic, we met some really amazing people and had a great time. After the open mic we crashed at these musician kids houses who were all really cool and great hosts!
The next day we hung out in Minneapolis for a while, and then went to our feature at Kireans Irish Pub in Minneapolis. They were having a slam there, so we featured after the first round of their slam. The feature went quite well, it was a pretty big crowd which was cool I havent performed in front of a large crowd like that in a while. During the entire thing we met so many amazing people, and it was really good to be around so many poets again haha! After the show we crashed at these poets house in Minneapolis, woke up in the morning and hung out in Minneapolis for a while.
We have aquired more art on the van! We met this graffiti artists/painter kid in Minneapolis who painted a very abstract girl on the side of the van who lookes kind of like a hawaiin girl, with flowers in her hair and stuff its really really cool.
Anyways, we are now in South Dakota, hosting a slam and featuring tonight, and then we are off to Omaha tomorrow morning!
