How ya’ll doing? Really, I’m curious… TELL ME please in the comments below. What do YOU have going on that’s worth noting?
I thought I would check in and say HI! Real talk. I’ve had my pulse on you for a while now, KC, and we’re just getting started! As I’m gearing up for another Spring and Summer of enlightenment, I’ve been hibernating and feeling out the calm before the storm.
There are some wonderful things coming up in KC, and I wanted to fill all you loyal bloggers in; so take out your calendar and write down anything that seems interesting! I’d love to see you out and about, painting the town whatever color you like, naturally.
First I’m working on recording a new album! It should be out by late Spring; Title and release date coming soon! Special thanks to Little Class Records!
2/25 Will be another fantastic feature poetry reading, brought to you by Nightlife Jones and MissConception, also featuring the illustrious Cheri Lou Woods. Be at the Arts Bar (3611 Broadway) pre-open mic on Wednesday, February 25th for a special feature that will BLOW YOU AWAY. Feature 8-9, open mic 9-11, always free, donations always welcome!
Dr Seuss’s birthday bash is happening on Monday evening, March 2nd at the Uptown Arts Bar 6:30 p.m. Come and celebrate the life and poetry of Dr Seuss with myself and some other local poets! AND this one the donations go towards a good cause, Community LINC.
Save the Date for the screening of the documentary I produced titled “The Hellraiser”. When a man (who happens to be my Grandfather!) decided he needed to call the Pope one day years ago, the impossible happened. Suddenly, an ordinary lawyer found himself in not so ordinary positions. Meet Sid Willens, civic activist and lawyer representing the underdog in many cases and platforms. Sid has developed strategic tactics and systematic flow charts to accomplish what maybe would call the impossible, and he’s not afraid to share with the public the methods he uses to succeed. Essentially, the film is about activism and how to make systematic change as an individual in this discriminatory system.
Please join your community on Thursday, April 2nd, 7:00 p.m. at the Uptown Arts Bar for a screening and discussion over the movie “The Hellraiser”. Doors are at 7:00 p.m., followed by the film screening and a discussion panel from 8-8:30 consisting of Sid Willens, Al Brooks and Rabbi Mark Levin. Other organizations will be there representing social justice actions happening today, including Ida B Wellls, The American Friends Services Committee and more. Details coming soon!
Worth Noting: I’ve recently taken a job with The Kelly Gallery working on weddings and graphic design (two of my loves), so if you need all things wedding, SEND ME A MESSAGE at sara.serendip@gmail.com! I want to help you!
I’ve got a weekly hula hoop class starting at City in Motion on April 1st!
Luckily enough, i’ll be working with KC Young Audiences and the American Friends Services Committee for the “How to Change the World through Spoken Word” workshops, working with youth in Kansas City teaching them about spoken word and performance! What an honor.
And lastly, dare I remind you of my one true love, Wakarusa? If you haven’t bought your tickets yet, please get them NOW while they are affordable, and come share this incredible experience with me! There is no place like Wakarusa…. no place like OM.
We all have a lot going on. Pick what you love and STICK WITH IT. Keep lists. Keep calendars. Throw away that which doesn’t serve you any longer. Think ahead. Be proactive. And do it with LOVE. You can always check my website www.themissconception.com for upcoming events and music, and please help contribute to my vision by spreading the word, when it matters to you!
As always, thanks for reading!
