Abigail’s
Hey mi gente ,
So finally I started my open mic journey in NYC with Abigail’s in Brooklyn. It was a quaint and intimate place. The decor was very inviting ; the food and drinks were great.
When I entered, I met other performers who were very informative about the open mic scene and welcomed me with open arms. I was a bit scared that I would be the butt of their jokes since they were both comedians but thankfully they kept to their sets.
There was a pretty good size crowd (mostly the performers… but hey we support each other ). The talent was mostly comedians with music and me sprinkled in. A few of the comedians classified themselves: the atheist, the angry one, the lonely one & the one that talks to himself. I loved the singer and the musician- very relevant.
I changed my set a few times to flow with the vibe of the night. I decided to perform two poems from My Journey through poetry — Broken Angel– , the full poem excerpted in MJTP , “I am you” , and one from upcoming manuscripts, azucar. I got great response from the other performers about them so I am definitely gonna continue shopping around the mic scene and go forward with the book release.
thanks Brooklyn for the love! it’s nice to know you are welcomed back home.
To see pictures go to the spoken word section.
Next to hit is Bowery Poetry Club. I will be @ Abigail’s every Wednesday. I can’t leave my home out!
1 luv
