I hope that I haven't lost your love by not doing a good job of keeping up. i'm sure every one is sick of hearing ramen noodles by now. there is good news and bad news in this post.
good new: i've been working all the time to make a new album that i hope you love. i will be a full length. so far i've been digging through the old vinyl samples and thinking of some fun smart lyrics.
bad new: my last two years of beats got deleted from my computer. lost forever. time to move on, make better music.
i told my friends when i first moved to st. louis i would stay for two years and then move to california. I have been true to my word. i've packed up everything i need and came out here. i have a job with americorps. i'm working to organize kids 11 to 18 to do service projects. its hard getting kids excited about there community as an outsider, but i'm working on it. write me if you have any tips on working with kids.
i will have new music up eventually. the beat disaster is a real set back. the last year has left me with alot on my mind, which i've been taking time to write about.

i've been reflecting today and i just really wanted to thank everyone who has keep up with me over the years i've been doing music. i did my first show in junior high when my science teacher, mr vaydyke let me borrow his oldies cover band's pa system and booked me a show in elkhart indiana. only a few people came, but it started off years of fun performing in-front of people.
in south bend and the midwest i would do a ton of shows with hardcore and punk bands every weekend. still, i feel like i've gotten a chance to connect with so many different, amazing people. the people who i've connected with at shows and talked to in the mall, and wrote on myspace are a big part of my younger life. I've felt like a rock star were the whole audience was there to rock with my and i've felt aweful when everyone leaves right before i go on.
i've gotten to meet and get to know a few of my music and poetry heros like pigeon john and mike mcgee. also i've been able to perform, and share my weird hiphop for thousands of young people around most of the county.
i'm putting together new music. when its up i will let you know. i would really love to hear from any one who reads this and see what they think makes hiphop fun or just whatever is on your mind. get at me

I'm glad to hear that you're still continuing to write and I look forward to the new album. Where are you at in California? I'll be moving to Sacramento in less than five months. As for the kids, just have fun and keep encouraging them. Keep up the good work and keep us posted! By the way, I'll never get sick of ramen noodles!

you'll do fine with those kids! i worked with kids for 7 years, and all you need to know is that kids crave someone who will treat them like an adult. and they WON'T lose respect for you if you stand your ground and keep the rules in place. they might sulk or act sad, but i mean kids connect a lot faster then they let on. working with kids is the single most rewarding experience i ever had growing up. you just put your faith in them and they'll take off, there's nothing in this world like seeing a child's face light up when they do something you encouraged them to do that they though they couldn't before. these days people try to keep their kids in line and prim and proper, people forget what it's like to be a kid and just want to be cool around other adults. you're such a loving person bobby that it won't be hard to connect with them i know. :)

just remember, if you let them start walking all over you with their cutesy act you'll turn into putty in their hands and it's all down hill from there :)

love,
jessica

I really miss you man. I was one of those kids that'd go see you EVERY TIME you came to La Porte. I looooooved going to your shows man. You were awesome and full of such energy which is why I loved going to your shows. I think the key to making hip hop fun is to just have fun with it, which you always did. You were always clever and although you wrote songs about badgers and ramen noodles, they were still great songs because they were so much fun to listen to and they were so catchy. No matter what you do, know that you always have those true fans who've always had your back and will always love your songs.

Good luck in Cali. I wish you all the luck in the world.
