Last Saturday, June 18th, my cousin, little sister, and I met up with Mark and his two friends, Cecilia and Paulina, for the Highways Performance Space Presents: Slam Fest 2011 in Santa Monica.

Words of Advice
I will keep to heart the advice that David A. Romero gave to forWord today at Common Ground. Thank you Susan for asking him! Here’s two things I’ll remember the most:
Do not wait for anybody. If you want to print a chapbook, do it. If you want to record a music video, do it. Things won’t get done if you wait for people. Things get done if you just do it.
