We are one month from the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF STIR (SOUNDS, THOUGHTS, IDEAS, AND RHYME)! (August is also my birthday month, barbecue coming August 9th. Stay focused.) Can you believe that we have been blessed to bring this to you for a year consistently? That is because Atlanta has made it apparent that YOU APPRECIATE something different, eclectic, cultural, positive, and entertaining. So I'm not going to let you down and keep shouting it from the mountain tops!THIS MONTH YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS! WE HAVE GUEST ARTISTS IN TOWN THAT HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN YEARS, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY ARE COMING BACK!! That's right. One of the Godfathers of Spoken Word, TAALAM ACEY www.myspace.com/officialtaalamacey, will be at STIR on the mic ripping it down. If you say you are a poetry lover and don't know that name, then burn your notebook. I can honestly say at least 50 percent of spoken word artists have bitten this brother's style and used it as their own. Come see the originator on JULY 18TH! And I'm not done! Fresh from L.A., one of the baddest acoustic folk singers, SANDBLOOM http://www.myspace.com/sandbloom WILL BE IN FULL EFFECT (E-F-F-E-C-T. A smooth operator operating correctly - Rakim). Rounding out the line up is Ms. Latifah, Las4Eva, London Arrington, Cola Rum and Scott Sommers bringing some comedy, Belly Dancing by Jazz Baptiste, Special Guest Artists, and Gritz and Jelly Butter leaving a Bigfoot Print in Art on 5! FINALLY!! EVERY ONE KNOWS THAT IT'S HOTTER THAN JULY! SO WE ARE KEEPING IT COOL IN JULY!!! THIS IS THE LINEN AND SUNDRESS EDITION! DRESS ACCORDINGLY! LADIES, I WANT TO SEE THE SUPPLE SHOULDERS AND PAINTED TOES! FELLAS, GET YOUR BILLY DEE ON WITH THE CRISP LINEN OUTFIT! IT'S GOING DOWN! $10 PRESALE? COME ON MAN! BUY YOUR TICKET NOW!!
