🎶 i take a piece of you with me 🎶

Dear Sacra­men­to,

In case you haven’t no­ticed we’re hav­ing an­oth­er huge wave of in­cred­i­ble artists leav­ing the city. 

Can we PLEASE fig­ure out how to make it sus­tain­able to cre­ate here? The politi­cos love us­ing the arts as a talk­ing point and ex­am­ple of what makes our city great but cre­atives can’t af­ford to live in the city we bring life to. 

Two of my clos­est po­ets and one of my fa­vorite show pro­duc­ers in the last cou­ple months. AND I talked to three oth­er BIG cre­ative forces out here last night who are ei­ther cur­rent­ly mov­ing or look­ing to.

Damn, I miss my friends. 

Philadel­phia. The bay. LA. New Or­leans. Cincin­nati. Lon­don. All look­ing prettttttttttt­ty good right now …

And ima take every­one with me when I leave.

P.P.S. If you wan­na come out for Sacra­men­to Po­et­ry Day TO­MOR­ROW 26 Ocot­ber 2021 in-per­son, there are lim­it­ed tick­ets.
