On Sunday afternoon Kathy, Patty and I went to a rehearsal for Hip Hop on the Mountain at the Creative Alliance. It was so fun to be there, going over the order of our set and to turn around to see one b-boy spinning on his head, and to turn some more and see a clogger and a spoken word artist listening to an iPod with a shared set of buds and tapping their feet to the sounds. It was so good to sing loudly and be surrounded by such supportive, genuinely curious folks. This will be an exciting show. Chris Stain and Leon Reid IV began their installation in the gallery while we were there, too, and that should not be missed.


Opening reception for Ain't Goin' Home: Chris Stain & Leon Reid IV is Saturday, May 8th at 7pm.
3134 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore, MD

FUSION 2010/Hip Hip on the Mountain follows at 9pm in the theater.
