    the KILN's Interests
GeneralFiring away the unreal. Burning away the bullshit. Accelerating our distillation process and getting to the core of our beings. Loosing our minds. Slitting our risks. Living the legends. BURNING BOXES!!! THE GREAT UNFOLDMENT. Making money on occasion...there is really nothing wrong with sustainability...but on the whole, we are more interested in losing our first million rather than making it...for this will have been the completion of a full revolution...and mark an opportunity for us to better realize that we all have access to the divine bounty at any time...AT EVERY TIME...and perhaps more importantly to grasp that we were here before we tapped it, and that we will undoubtedly endure after it's temporarily taken a leave of absence....it is one thing to know something intellectually, and quite another to KNOW it EXPERIENTIALLY. Things which seem to have no apparent meaning or good earthly purpose are also intriguing. Fostering the fact that we are created beings....therefore inherently creative in nature. Recognizing the fact that one of the least flattering aspects of major organized religions is that, as a whole, society tends to place their gods on pedestals that are simply inaccessible...elevated to "such great heights" that they are too far away to reach.... We're interested in empowering the individual. Recognizing the fact that Alestair Crowley's (The wickedest man in the world) philosophy of "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" the Wiccan tenet "As I will so mote it be" and Christ's declarations "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you" or that "...you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you" come from the same place...the same truth. That tenets such as the Judaic, "As above so below" and the Christian "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven" are indicative of the same universal law. We have everything we need within us....we have the ability to consciously create circumstance....people manifest things everyday...most without realizing what they're actually doing. "Neither words nor actions are inherently valuable, THEY trust in US to bring to them that which is necessary to compl=t= th= =quation." If something is TRUE for you then whatever IT IS. "Keep the poetry alive, in every moment, in every breath and it will do the same for you." Unconditional love means letting people be who they really are....and letting them grow at their own pace....but it doesn't hurt to make your own pace known and felt. Bottom line perhaps, is that everything really is just fine....brilliant in fact...."Perfection wouldn't be perfection if it didn't occasionally feel like shit." -d.r.b. LIFE IS A TEST...BUT WE HAVE CLIFF NOTES. Time has been "taking" us for years...and ITS OWN time is finally coming once again...OUR TIME HAS ARRIVED....IT IS HERE...For we are truly in the midst of Uncommon hOURS....It is inDEED time...to TAKE time BACK. For InDEED we trust. MODspeed. GOD SPEED.

About me:
Spring Arts Tower

Welcome home to everything you never thought it would be. Welcome, to the UNscene... To the in-sigh of the OUTCRY, leave your "reason" at the door... it's NOT what you once thought it for... yet SOOOO MUCH MORE. And of all of IT that's still to come, the madness yet to ensue, these, THESE are the melodies... and the maladies... and the anthems of innocense lost. A moment'airy' memory from when the world was new, yet a mere paling reflection in a mirror long since discredited. And all those thoughts that thought... ...that FOUGHT... to "think" you here, to this place, THIS FACE that YOU NOW ARE.... they were never very far from home... nor were you. - d.r.b.

8 Finger Eddie

In conversation with Fredo and Kamakshi


You are alone. That's one thing I realized too, its scary in a way.
You're alone, in the whole universe, you're alone with the light.
You can't lie, you can't say, "I'm not afraid" But you are…
There's no lying, there's no way to get around it, it's a moment of truth.
Cannot fool the light, man...

We're back from Nationals in Austin, TX and getting ready to whoop sum a$$ at next year's Nationals in Madison, WI.

We have a new Host Venue on board and have set the dates for three nights of preliminary bouts with the top performers competing at a quarterly final in December. So this is to announce that we are:

Calling All Slam Poets & Poetry Lovers

to come and compete, judge, or simply sit back a
