Go for it, Dorothy
Thanks, Rosemary! Quite honestly, I posted the picture as a joke. I am curious and would love to learn more about this Rap Contest. If I have time, I might just call. One of my friends, saw the same posting and was very curious.
Seriously, Dorothy, I wouldn’t want the art world to lose you…but you should go for it 😉
Hee hee. Thanks, Alyse! Honestly, the flyer is a work of art! That’s the reason why I took a picture of it. It’s in the strangest place (the lamp post next to Smitten Ice Cream and the mobile Museum of Craft). I couldn’t help but post it. After thinking about it though, I would love a collaboration with Hennessey Youngman. I would so sing the hook or even right a couple of verses.
