Revolution, pretention, and forty days of testing.
F. C. Estrella learned long ago that to survive meant to tame the configurations and secrets of identity and personality, and smash them, remold them, transform them. She has been known as a he (Lucien Estrella or Senor Awesome the Drag King), an it (slam poet Festrell), an us (magick multiphrenic Hexpiritus and the kapwa of community and soul tribe), and a them (those brown people, those asian people, those gays, those trannies, those freaks). This Filipino-Canadian urban babaylan [bah-BYE-lahn] uses words and will to work towards a world of sustainability, diversity, growth, and balance. And kittens. Everybody loves kittens.
...sombody on my friends list wrote a real nasty thing about you in a blog they just wrote you need to see this, i dont know why either, sorry, but here is the link to it...
So how are you? If you haven't already, please check out my latest book:
It's called "Ugly Heaven" and it is set in a weird version of Heaven. It is published alongside Jeffrey Thomas' "Beautiful Hell" about his version of hell. Take care.
Please forgive this small mass-message-type comment, but we just want to tell everyone about our latest project: "DIG YOUR ROOTS - CREATIVE JAZZ". Independent artists, CDs, live concerts aired on radio stations . . . it's all quite exciting for us. Come on over to our page to check out all the details.
We'll be back here soon to see what's up with you these days. Feel free to drop us a comment in the meantime.
Yo, it's my homegirl and teammate from the outer limits of infinity and beyond ... what's up? Haven't seen much of you lately! We need to get together for a little Slam Team Love! You're going to be in the house Thursday at Thirsty Scholar? Sweet!
Confessional makes me laugh out loud or softly cry, depending on the day. I found myself involuntarily yelling out "then what the fuck am i?!" along with your recording.
