Gaah!

I need to get back o this posting train.... I forget so freakin often.

Anyway, Khalil and I have been workin on our Duet piece and I think it's coming pretty good so far.  There are a lot of things to adjust and address, fix, rhyme, choreograph... but it's getting there.  I think we both like what we're doing, but I'm having a little trouble getting the passion into it right now.  It's coming and it'll be awesome, never fear.  But I worry that too much slant rhyme might take away from the whole effect and what we're trying to say, especially since I get wordy sometimes.  I just always have to walk back through and strip down what I got and fix the rhyme scheme (and since I remember earlier versions it sometimes messes me up on memorization) but come the show it will be good.

It will be good.

It will be good.

It will be good.

Just gotta keep tellin myself that...

Hey all,
I know I haven't been writing very much and I won't say why here cuz Kashi will just call it out anyway.

But I just wanted to get it out there that I am so proud of my class. I know we weren't all performers before this class, but we have all come a long way. I am particularly proud of Ben and Dom.
Ben- You always seem a little sideways to me, which I usually like, but there is a time and a place, and I'm just glad that you stepped it up in your piece yesterday. It was fly and deep, nice job.
Dom, I told you before that you would get it, and I'm so glad that we were able to support you and show you that performance is not that scary. It's tough, but I think you got the bug now, and I hope you get to do more with it.

I probably should have said that yesterday, but oh well. Everyone was great, and major ups for our show later this month.

BTW, I saw a good marketing campaign walking from my friend's house this morning-- we can advertise on cars!! Just put a little flyer in the window or something (that DOESN'T look anything like a ticket) and let them know what's going on. I'm def in favor of A Hip Hop Study Break as a show title, but I know other people thought it sounded kinda lame.

That bes it for now, folks. See you in an hour with coffee, Kashi.
