            <title>First Nuyorican Poetry Club win!</title>
            <link>http://wilkmusic.com/news.html#56</link>
            <description><![CDATA[in the grand scheme of things.... well, to me, this was a big deal because when I first stepped into the storied Nuyorican Poets Cafe 2 weeks before Thanksgiving of last year, I set a goal of one day being  invited to the Friday night stage.  Seemed very far away, but after alot  of hard work, and some public humiliation, I won my first slam last night.  I am humbled at the accomplishment, real talk.  Much appreciative of the opportunity from Mahogany Browne and the continued support of Jive Poetic, the 2 amazing hosts at Nuyo.  These are 2 very special people, going way beyond slam poetry to make major contributions to the community at large, in New York City and far beyond, I am very fortunate to have walked into the club a year ago and to continue to have the opportunity to be around these great artists, and more importantly, great people.  Thank you both.<br />WORD.]]></description>

            <title>BROKE WIDE OPEN; What's next?</title>
            <link>http://wilkmusic.com/news.html#53</link>
            <description><![CDATA[the performance of BROKE WIDE OPEN at The Showroom in Asbury Park, NJ on August 15th was an incredible experience for me.  It was really the first time performing BROKE WIDE OPEN as a full blown play, a real theater piece, and I have to thank Stephen Bishop Seely for that, the producing artistic director of The Revision Theater.  We've been meeting pretty much every week for the past 3 months and he's been pushing me to go deeper with not only my story but the characters as well, and to get clearer with my script.  To understand what exactly it is I want the audience to walk away with.  Truly, he has guided me to make BROKE WIDE OPEN a play, instead of just a performance piece, so I'm very grateful for that.  What's next?  Stay tuned............... now that the script is getting close to being done, I will be able to go into memorizing mode, lock it all down and we have plans on bringing in a director [soon to be searching for the right person], a lighting designer, and who knows, perhaps even a live band, but to keep the integrity of the music, there will also be a DJ working with the live musicians.  And probably the most exciting thing for me would be to get the technology out of my hands, which means I won't have to be running the video and music on stage myself while I'm performing.  I will finally be able to just cut it loose and perform, with all the music, lighting, staged elements, video and whatever else is needed, being taken care of by our crew, and at that point, well.... get ready people, I'll be BREAKIN' THIS MOTHAF*CKER WIDE OPEN!!!  <br />Anyway, that's all the news for today, folks, I'm 2 days removed from the reading and the most profound Q&A the other night, and I'm just taking it all in, enjoying these feelings, appreciating the moment, understanding the gift of working with Mr Seely, feeling very humbled, inspired and thankful by the comments and emails coming in after the other night, and preparing for the next phase.  I'm ready.  Come with me.  Let's go!]]></description>

            <link>http://wilkmusic.com/news.html#51</link>
            <description><![CDATA[sorry I haven't been updating this much as of late, been very busy, been all over the place.  Had the pleasure of performing at the legendary Saint in Asbury Park, NJ for the Wave Gathering Festival, did a performance up in The Berkshires in a beautiful small town called Pittsfield, Mass at the Micro Theater, an amazing experience, and have been working closely with the genius artistic director of the Revision Theater Stephen Bishop Seely developing my script for BROKE WIDE OPEN.   There's gonna be an upcoming staged reading at The Showroom Theater in Asbury Park, see the homepage and calendar page here for details.  I'm excited to be doing a Q&A after that performance, so come on thru and give me some feedback.  Stay tuned for more, alot is in the works, BROKE WIDE OPEN is about to bust!!!!!!<br />Peace<br />Rock WILK]]></description>
