It's November and we've been wrapped up in the events that have taken over the nation. Through it all there are two things on the minds of RhymeConnect. The first is our president-elect and the history that was made. We want to thank all of you for getting out to the polls and making your voice heard! A voice of change and hope. We pleaded at previous RhymeSpots for those in attendance to exercise their right to vote and make a change! Great Job everyone! We have a president that is not just a democratic president but a president for all people in these United States. It's a beautiful thing to watch our democracy work.
Now the second thing that's been on our mind, as it is every month, is RhymeSpot. RhymeSpot November is going to be a lot of fun.
We are soooo excited for a few reasons. We've decided to break these points of excitement down for those of you that care to know. For those of you that are short on time - check out the Quick spill at the bottom of the email.
Point of Excitement No. 1 - THE VENUE - 119 Northside Square, Downtown Huntsville.
For one we've found a venue! You'll never guess which one - we'll give you a hint. The address is 119 Northside Square Downtown Huntsville. This should sound familiar to some of you old faithfuls! This is the address of the building where RhymeSpot started in April 2007!! We started out in a cafe named Kenny's Mangos and had a number of shows there before Kenny moved out of the space. That's when we started our trek around Huntsville looking for a spot that would fit what RhymeSpot had grown to be. In the meantime Sam & Greg's Pizzeria and Gelateria has moved into the downtown space and made it their own. Sam&Greg are now welcoming RhymeSpot in November!! Talk about a full circle!! We cant wait to try the new spot on for size! Pssssssttt.. the pizza is delicious - make sure you try out the chocolate chile icecream! It's amazing!
Point of Excitement No. 2- November is Sharea's Birthday Month
Some of you may remember last November. RhymeSpot 8 was a poetic extravaganza, Sharea was celebrating her 21st birthday and pulled out all the stops to give the area a taste of poetry like it's never had before. We think she did a pretty bang up job! Well November has rolled around again and Sharea (RhymeSpot creator, host and poet) is just as excited about celebrating 22 as she was for 21. Her deuce deuce birthday ( as she calls it) will bring features and music at her request. She's inviting all her friends - poets, musicians, singers and lovers of the arts to come and have a great time at Sam&Gregs! So count this as your invitation and forward it to all your friends!! It'll be a great show!!
Point of Excitement No. 3 - The Features
RhymeConnect is very pleased to present our very own RhymeConnect Poets as features for this event. When we Sharea started picking out features for November (months ago) she decided that she wanted only two features, herself and a selected open mic. She's been waiting for awhile to feature these poets from RhymeConnect and she's sure now is the time. You've seen them running around RhymeSpot, announcing, co-hosting, passing out tickets or taking your admission but now we're going to give these two poets a chance to showcase their talents. Andre and Prophecy will be spotlight features in November. This is going to be their first official community feature - talk about exciting! We know you've seen them both get up at open mics all over the community and at with Oakwood's Art&Soul but this is going to be something to behold. These guys are going to be bringing the heat! You dont want to miss out!! Be apart of these guys first feature - your sure to love it! Of course birthday girl Sharea will be up on the microphone to spit a few pieces both new and old.
If your not convinced that this is the place you need to be by now - then how about we mention our open mic which will be filled with poets you know and love :n) Don't miss out on the excitement
