I’m once again sitting in Mocha Hut, mainly because I am too cheap to get wi-fi for my home, and I have yet to master the perfect way to hack into secured networks. So as I sit here, sucking off the free internet teat, I cannot help but notice that the place is becoming more and more crowded thanks to the open-mic poetry event that they hold every Thursday. The amazing thing is, that for every man in the place, there are at least three women. So of course, I got to thinking: Maybe I should write some poetry and go onstage.
Seriously, this would be a good way to expand on the legend of ListenToLeon! I could write something poignant, yet hilarious, then plug my site for the rest of the evening! You know what? I’m a genius. That’s all there is to it. One day, you all will greet me by kissing my hand, like I’m Michael Corleone!
The scene here reminds me of when I worked at www.BET.com. One of the producers there had the opportunity to travel on the road with Common and De La Soul. He said that Common had a bunch of groupies trying to get at him, but not the normal ones you see at concerts. He said that Common had a lot of coffeehouse groupies. Women with headwraps, locs, and other assorted natural styles, who actually read books. From what I hear, those ones are probably the best kind to have, since they tend to be wilder in bed than the ones with a ton of makeup on. For instance, they don’t have to worry about sweating out their perms, or wrinkling their outfits if they’re wearing earthy linen or hemp dresses. To paraphrase the great songwriter and underage piss patron, R. Kelly, they are free to do it “like two gorillas in the jungle, making love!”
I want some freaky coffehouse groupies! Let me go check out some spoken word examples online, and then come up with something clever, yet slightly offensive. Then I’ll get someone to tape it for the Youtube page. Once it’s up, I’ll let you know.
I cant wait to see it…I’m sure it will be spectacular!
But are the groupies worth suffering through the overwrought writings of the too-deep but not in a sexual way? Problemo numero uno with poetry in coffee houses: absence of alcohol.
For real @ Kofro, there were only two or three f*ckable coffehouse groupies in the entire place! It’s worth it, though, because it will give me more content for the site!
@ Lady A, I’ll let you know once it’s up
Coffee houses are great. The second freakiest chick I ever been with was one I met in an indy coffee house. (the freakiest chick I was ever with was one I met at a birthday party, but I think I just got lucky there. most people at birthday parties are disapointingly non-freaky deaky).
Afro-cen-tricks;
Is what we call ‘em. Yeah those types are the freakiest, trust me I used to be a headwrapped, dread loc’d, nature bunny.
Becareful…there’s plenty of crazy stored under some of those headwraps.
LOL @ Amadeo
@ Candace: that’s the funniest sh_t i heard today.
I would come down there to see that… I swear I would…
Then again, is it VA or MD? ‘Cause those few extra miles gonna kill me in gas…
Ok, just send me a video…or better yet…youtube.
Dramatic readings… you could always do this…

bloopty!
I want some freaky coffehouse groupies!
^^ Co-siggity signs!!!
@homeimprovementninja
I beg to differ. I have met some stone cold freaks at birthday parties!
Women with headwraps, locs, and other assorted natural styles are usually very freaky. I don’t want to say they all are because that would be ignorant. If one of them asks you to use a lambskin condom, DON’T DO IT. Trust me on that…
LOl @ Jabari Talib. What’s the deal on using lambskin condoms? Now I’m curious.
Low key though, you might want to watch yourself around those au natural chicks. They’ll put some Erykah Badu voodoo on you and have you burning smelly ass incense, buying chew sticks, eating vegan food and wearing smedium t-shirts like Snoop in the “Beautiful” video.
And it certainly doesn’t matter whether you find your freak at a coffee house or b-day party; freaks come out at night, period!
Leon, how could you not know the poet Droopy? He hosts the open mic sessions at the Mocha Hut. Nice dude…both of your writing styles crack me the hell up!
WL
@ WonderLove, is he the short guy with locs? I don’t know anybody there except a few of the ladies that work at the place.
I can’t wait to see this, lol.
@Hustleman, no, here’s Droopy’s myspace page:

Ya’ll show collabo or sumthin’!
LAMBSKIN CONDOmS DO NOT PROTECT YOU FROM DISEASES!
Thank you.
