| Attention all poets! Russell Simmons is in the process of setting up a Nationwide Poetry Slam. It will take place in 12 cities and be televised on HBO. So if you got skillz to pay the billz and words that need to be heard, give him a call at this number 212-391-9443. They will take down your name and number and contact you at a future date. For those of you who don't feel like calling, send your press packages to Phat Farm, 530 Seventh Ave 14th Floor; New York, new York 10018 c/o Def Poetry Slam. My only suggestion is to just be careful when calling, You don't want Russell's wife to answer the phone.. She might hit you up for some money for a 'baby shower'. For those who don't know, home girl caused a big stink when she pranced around a room during a gala event and demanded money from unsuspecting guests for her unborn baby. When folks didn't respond, she called them cheap and moved on to the next person. In addition to being tacky and making her and her husband look bad, she netted over 6000 thousand bucks.. I guess I shouldn't knock her hustle...
