HBCU basketball and poetry in motion

Johnson C. Smith University

You all know I went to a PWI for undergrad and an HBCU for law school.  You also know that I am a sports junky.   So this weekend I went to JCSU for a basketball tournament.  

A couple of guys I know are assistant coaches there... (Lord that is a story within itself...as to one of them...but that's neither here nor there LOL)

I have never gone to a regular bball game at an HBCU.  I've gone to some CIAA games, but they are usually in a very large venue.  

This was different because I was really close to the court.  I got a little nostalgic watching the games, and felt a tremendous urge to throw on some sneakers and hit the hardwood! LOL

Grover



Now the funny part was when this guy got up to leave and he had on a blue furry coat... why did the entire side of the gym he left from get up, point at him and laugh!!! Then another dude ran down out of the stands and rubbed the coat... That coat seriously looked like he skinned Grover from Sesame Street and made a hooded winter jacket out of him :( 






Then on Sunday my best friend and her hubby came to town for the holidays and we got to go out and kick it for the first time in a long time!!!  We went to a poetry spot called Wine-Up (Very dope place!!!) to a fantastic lady's (www.thisisdani.com) poetry album release party.

Wine-Up.  The venue is in the art district
in Charlotte. 

I had a great time, and so did my friends.  I also ran into a few folks I know there, some who have appeared in my blog.  So big shout out to all of the folks there!  Below are the things I purchased while at Wine-Up from Dani the Poet's new project and product line.
