This Thursday at Spit Dat...
Ladies and gentlemen, there's not much I could say to prepare you for the unabashedly blunt creative reaches of this Thursday's feature. So I'll use his own words:
"If you like poetry...
If you like rawness...
If you like madness...
If you like...yeah...
...Come out to my feature...
No drugs. No alcohol. No pen throwing(at me). No sex. Outside food is allowed. There is an open mic, so feel free to share. Cut through the alley (the nice alley) and make a left; you'll see it."
Ladies and gentlemen, "Spit Dat" brings you... Robert Henry! (www.myspace.com/roberthenrythepoet)
(Brought to you by dog shows, plus-size pin-up girls, and mashed potatoes. The REAL mashed potatoes!)
"See you Thursday!"
Droopy the Broke Baller aka "DA Bully"
