Rivermont Cyphers

Sunday cypher is back at Franklin Park, 4pm, west side by the courts. Same rules as always — nobody’s counting bars and nobody’s keeping score. Bring water. Bring somebody who’s never done it.

Breakers will be there. We’ll take the corner by the fence.

Beat Swap

Finished a pack of twelve off one record I paid a dollar for. Whole thing is drums, dust, and one horn stab I flipped six ways. Dropping the folder in the group tonight, take what you want.

Delmar Records

Friday at Corner Cup, all vinyl, no laptop. I’m bringing the crate I never open. If you’ve got requests, write them down and hand them to me — I’m not reading a phone all night.

9th St Studio

Booth’s open Tuesday through Thursday next week and I’ve got nothing on the calendar. First come. If it’s your first time recording, say so and I’ll walk you through it — no charge for the first hour.

Rivermont Cyphers

Somebody left a notebook on the bench at Franklin after the cypher. Black composition book, full of bars, name inside the cover says J. I’ve got it — come get it Sunday.

Open Mic Nights

Thursday at The Annex. Sign-ups at 7, first name up at 7:30. We had nineteen people last week and ran till midnight — get there early if you want a slot.

Crate Diggers

Delmar restocked the dollar bins and nobody’s been through them yet. I pulled four things I’m not telling you about. Go before Saturday.

Rivermont Breakers

Saturday practice moved inside — the rec center gave us the gym till 4. Bringing the lino. Beginners come at noon, we start slow and nobody watches.

Park Jams

Shot the whole jam last weekend, about four hundred frames. Posting the good ones through the week. The one of the kid on the speaker is going to be the one.
