Here's to a great year for everybody. If I owe you a call or money, or anything, bear with me. I'm on colored people's time.
Welcome to Week 73.
Sittin' In
WHERE: Kimmel Center, Philadelphia
WHEN: Tuesday, December 18, 2012
My first time doing poetry on stage in Philly in over seven years, and I was blessed to be invited by the ever amazing Anthony Tidd, and Philly's own living legend, Ms. Ursula Rucker. To call this an honor would be a severe understatement. So fucking great. Stay tuned for more mic business from your man going forward. To those who didn't know, welcome to the fold and I hope you enjoy what you find, whether it's from my past, or the latest thing to come out of my pen.

WHERE: Le Poisson Rouge, New York
WHEN: Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Oh yeah, we back again, this time with Oveous Maximus doing his LP Release Party for "Kill You Myth" available now on Moca Arts. Great dude, phenomenal poet, and pretty fucking funny to boot. As always, bit up Akalepse for another amazing set of records and for the RED VINYL test press 45s for that new bang bang. Holy shit...
Li'l Ricky's Final Night At Walnut Room
WHERE: Walnut Room, Philadelphia
WHEN: Thursday, December 20, 2012
We ain't done; the Walnut Room is just going through some changes. We closed our six-month-run off lovely though. Salute to GL Productions, Shots Fried aka Shoe Face, and everyone involved in making this run so dope for your man. It was a perfect reintroduction to my home market place after a few years of touring had me away from home for so long. Here's to Li'l Ricky's in Philly in 2013, showing its face soon!
Robert Glasper Holiday Jam
WHERE: SRB Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY
WHEN: Saturday, December 22, 2012
