Mynd_44: princesa: hello olulu! @MYND lol, many are called, few are chosen. Those that will come will come, no need to write long grammar. @Princesa Hi dearie, I know peeps here like to read stories and the likes, but i also know one or two peeps will be interested. Nigerians do fancy poetry, u just have to locate those that do, and this is part of it, using nairaland to get the word out to them. If u doubt whether Donna K is a top female spoken word poet, then come see for yourself to remove all doubts. lyricalpontiff: How can I make enquires? Any number? @lyricalpontiff call me, 08025070892 or mail olulu4ever@gmail.com or tweet @wordup411 and @olulu4ever Always at your service. |

You want use me do free advert right? Okay na. First of all, I don't know why you guys chose to start 2pm, maybe it is about venue or logistics but that's an initial turn off. We all know how these things can be and when you are having fun, time goes fast and before you know, it is 6pm, then 7pm and it is dark(remember this is Lagos and a lot of your audience might not own cars). I mentioned earlier and Jumoke said it too. Timing is important. I came from a far place but I made sure I got there just some minutes before 2 for a reason: I wanted to see how serious it is cos your being prompt might dictate how people (like me) take you. The logistics were not in place even when the event started as the lightning was an issue (I multitask a lot and so soak in details which is why I wander a lot) even until the end of the event making the stage somehow dull....... And you should have put a little banner outside. I was not familiar with the place and did not fancy asking strangers for direction. I almost passed the venues without even guessing that it was the place. I had to study the house number and I saw the place looked like an artist coven so i guessed it was it. Outside those, which I believe could be easily fixed before the next event, it was wow!!!!. I had tons of fun and I enjoyed myself. I particularly enjoyed Donna's talk starting from "page to stage" and the different stages and phases involved. How to get in character and also how your tone and body language dictates the tune of your performance(recital). She really spoke on a lot of valuable issue that made loads of sense and it was cool. Jumoke was.......great. I loved that she spoke from a managerial point of view and I believe events managers have a lot to learn from what she spoke about. It was really cool sitting there to talk about how to plan them and arrange the artistes and make sure you don't have a supporting cast "steal" the show as that is important. The guy who spoke on brand nailed it. Totally, he was concise and precise. The last dude in the jersey was just fun to listen to. He was inspirational and would lift the spirits of a lot of peep there. I also love the venue. The atmosphere their is like I said earlier an artist's coven. The chairs were made of semi-carved wood, everything looked so natural and apart from the smell of stale cigarette (ewwww), it was great. All in all, I had fun but cos of the time(I stay far away), I could not stay back to meet people and a lot of peep might have that issue too but it was cool. I will defo come again to enjoy more talks. And oh, the dude that spoke last......that guy is OMG......he reminded me of Sage 1 Like |
