I'll probably attend this event Tara -- thanks.

Love to go but I'm on the other side of the pond. Damn.

I actually attended Quincy Troupe's reading on Tuesday.  It actually was an interesting event in park... Well it is not really a "park" in the sense anyone outside of NYC would think of one, but it is an oasis a break from the density popular concrete that surrounds. The park is near iconic FlatIron building (the former home of St. Martin's Press) and very close to where I teach Baruch College (which is why I went).

Watched this on your You Tube channel. IT wasn't until quite recently that I actually found out your channel existed. Keep them coming. Actually the Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka video was also very interesting.

Thanks the Amiri Baraka video was professionally shot and edited. The Quincy Thrope video was just me and my cell phone. But some recording of the event, for the record, is better than none.

 

I don't promote my YouTube channel because i embed all the videos on the site and i prefer people to visit AALBC -- not YouTube -- to watch my videos.

 

A couple of years ago I needed a 1,000 subscribers to unlock a YouTube feature. i asked people to subscribe to my channel then, but that was the only time.

Talking of You Tube, there's a pretty good channel on there that yourself and others here might not be aware of. Reel Black is the channels name.

Get you regarding your YT stuff. Probably better on here.

This is a ReelBlack vid. Pretty good.
