About me:
Get Yo' Buzz On.
Spellers wanted, hecklers welcome! Monthly Grown-Up Spelling Bee now at 501 Club!
The Grown-Up Spelling Bee has a new home at the beautiful 501 Club on 5th and Washington in downtown Minneapolis. Never for the faint of heart, the Grown-Up Spelling Bee features hilariously-themed spelling rounds, awesome prizes, and the world-famous Underpants Round. Don't miss out on the only event in the Twin Cities with enough guts to combine spelling and imbibing in one raucous, scandalous evening every month. Registration begins at 7PM on the third Saturday of every month, and the spelling begins at 7:30 sharp. It's not just entertaining - it's an incredible deal! An $8 registration fee gets spellers a free Summit brew with every successfully completed round in the Bee.

What: Minneapolis Grown-Up Spelling Bee
Where: 501 Club in downtown Minneapolis
Why: An evening's entertainment on the cheap!
When: 3rd Saturday of every month - register at 7, spell at 7:30.
Who I'd like to meet: Spellers, Nerds, Drunks, Hipsters, Douche Bags, Dirty Old Men, Ladies, and Four-Eyes.

Thanks for being a new MySpace friend.
It's been a juggernaut, but "IF THE RAINS DON'T CLEANSE" (my novel about my parents' experiences as schoolteachers in 1950s Africa) is finally available on Amazon.com. In fact, it's selling so well it's been marked "out of stock" for several days -- thank God they're still shipping it.
It's getting strong reviews and a grown-up readership -- I'm thrilled.
I invite you to visit my MySpace blog to read an excerpt.
Don't go far away. We're working on a plan. Sure, a plan. Like you need a plan for an ICE RINK BRAWL. Let us know if you want one in your back yard. Otherwise stay put until you hear more. How's that for a simple music contract.
Note...please add the word "funkdafied" (made famous by "Da Brat" in 1994) to the spelling be roster...and if not that, then "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik" (the actual title to the first Outkast album...1994)...don't believe me? go Wiki it :)
