Legit

A little over a week into the fundraiser and we've already reached 20% of our goal of $26,000!

Last night at the mostly-music, mostly-collegekids open mic I decided to try a new poem on them -- a challenging one about Michael Brown. They liked it; heard it. I hadn't wanted to perform really, but now that the universe has in a sense hired me I must accept every opportunity to give my best back.

"Hey, that's legit," said a young man when I sat down. Yeah.
