I went to 2 of the events there this week, the more recent one this evening, when Kamille got up and read a few of her poems. This one is called ‘Columbus,’ and is, like everything Kamille shares, spectacular.

Check it out for yourself:

For anyone who isn’t familiar with George Watsky, he’s an incredibly talented slam poet from San Fransisco, most notably featuring on HBO’s Def Poetry. He has performed in front of Bill Clinton and has won a host of award for his work.

I emailed George through his website www.goergewatsky.com out of the blue to ask him to perform in Second Life. After a few emails back and forth discussing the platform and arranging dates, he came in and performed at Hemingways (venue no longer exists unfortunately).

As I was revisiting some of my older Second Life machinima earlier, I cam across videos of a couple of the poems George performed and thought here would be a good place to share. Enjoy the very talented George Watsky.
