URBANE CULTURE meets the 1st and 3rd mondays of each month at 370 S. Thomas ave. Pomona. It's an event that allows poets and muscians to display their art in spoken or musical form. Yesterday was the first time I attended this awesome event. I really like the venue, it was small but brought a close and intimate feel with the artist. It has an elevated stage with good lighting to highlight the artist. The floors were filled with pillows were people would sit on them indian style and the inter perimeter of the building had couches. I always thought my writting ability's were good but this was an eye opener. These talented artist blew me away with their poems about life, love, pursuit of happines, tragedy, and faith. I stood and marveled at some of their ability's to stand in front of a crowd and to speak the words that were sown upon their hearts without looking at a single sheet of paper. I was also amazed at some of the depth of the poets emotions as they spoke to us in almost as a form of therapy for themsleves. A group of artist known as aerosol love letter campaign (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aerosol-Love-Letter-Campaign/295250995275) were the feature artist. They came all the way from the Bay Area to the the city of Pomona to perform. They're 3 of them in the group and all were equally talented in their own retrospect. After the show I walked a block away over to the the DBA wine bar and had a Pomona Queen to cap the night off. I love Pomona!
