The Poetry Crib: Something Real













SOMETHING REAL
by: Seeing Blind

“So good to see you. How are you?”
“I barely recognized you…you look so good!”
“Oh me?  I’ve been good.”
“It’s just the same old thing a different day.”
And, oh, isn’t that a shame? Oh, isn’t that a shame?

Gimme me something real
Gimme something to believe
I’ve been trying to build a life out of my dreams
I’m so tired of counting sheep
Of biting tongue and pulling teeth
I’ve been trying to build a life out of my dreams

It’s so hard to see you, who are you?
There are a million walls you hide behind
And you can’t break through
So you say “I been good.”
But at the end of the day the truth still remains
And oh, isn’t that a shame? Oh, isn’t that a shame?

Gimme me something real
Gimme me something to believe
I’ve been trying to build a life out of my dreams
I’m so tired of counting sheep
Of biting tongue and pulling teeth
I’ve been trying to build a life out of my dreams

Gold can’t buy me anything
I can take with me when I leave
And the thought that life is only temporary
Well that’s the price we all pay to breathe
My soul is gonna have to leave this place
Sooner or later

So give us something real
Give us something to believe
We’re all trying to build a life out of our dreams
We’re so tired of counting sheep
Of biting tongue and pulling teeth
We’ve been trying to build a life out of our dreams

DJ Grandpa is NOT Happy

DJ Grandpa received an email on Saturday, June 22 from Desjon Allen, owner of Kobe Red Jerky. His project was recently removed from Kickstarter due to allegations of fraud. 

In his email, Mr. Allen offered to share an exclusive with DJ Grandpa’s Crib—the real truth behind their unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign.   DJ Grandpa agreed to listen to their side of the story and then decide whether or not to feature it on the podcast.

Here is their side of the story, as told through a new project on Indiegogo:  Kobe Red - A Mocumentary - How I Fooled Kickstarter, The Media & 3000 Backers.

http://igg.me/at/koberedmovie/x/3706529

This project will NOT be featured on our show. The staff here at DJ Grandpa’s Crib is committed to crowdfunding, to the project creators who dare to dream, and to the backers who generously give of both their time and their money.  Kickstarter is more than just a crowdfunding platform, it is a community.  And the Kobe Red Beef Project--now known as the Kobe Red Mocumentary--has nothing to do with community or the true nature of crowdfunding.  We do not support this abuse of crowdfunding nor do we support The Kobe Red Mocumentary. 

Listen to DJ Grandpa's Crib on Monday, June 24 for an interview with Jason Cooper, one of the creators of Kickstarted, a documentary that helped expose the fraud behind Kobe Red.

The Poetry Crib: It's Shakespeare, Baby!









Previously on Kickstarter, The Sonnet Project videos are now available for viewing. Very cool.

 The New York Shakespeare Exchange presents

http://sonnetprojectnyc.com/

The Shakespeare Project:

"For the entire year leading up to Shakespeare’s 450th birthday, we will release, to a global audience, internet videos of all 154 sonnets, performed by 154 different actors in 154 unique locations throughout the five boroughs of New York City. The culmination of the project will be marked by the release of a full Sonnet Project Anthology, complete with special features exploring the textual nuances of the language, behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the creators and actors. By developing this intensive program, we extend our reach to a global audience, and provide access to Shakespeare on a day-to-day basis. Our goal is to reach an audience of 1,000,000 by Shakespeare’s 450th birthday."


Here's a link to their Kickstarter campaign which was fully funded in May of 2012: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1384441698/ny-shakespeare-exchange-sonnet-project-and-island?ref=live

Our First Freebie!!

WE REACHED 100 LIKES ON FACEBOOK!!!!! 

DJ Grandpa's Crib is proud to present our first ever product give away. One of our favorite returning guests, Rick Soued, president of Gryphon and Eagle Games,  has given us this fabulous game to give away to our listeners:  


Masters Gallery:
A beautiful card game for 3 to 5 players featuring the art of Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Degas and Vermeer.  As one reviewer put it, “a return to a time when art in a game is actually art!”  Over the course of four rounds, players use these beautiful cards to establish the relative value of each artist’s body of work.  Unique mechanics and ingenious design make the30 to 45 minutes of game play unpredictable and challenging every time.

 

Our team here at DJ Grandpa's Crib has played a few of Rick's games, and we can testify to their coolness factor. These are not your average board games.  Fun, challenging, original--these games have it all. Be prepared to be amazed. 

Listen to tomorrow's show for all the details.  Hint: in order to qualify for this great promo, you need to like our page on facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dj-Grandpas-Crib/246212238766289?fref=ts

Check out all the games at Gryphon and Eagle Games: http://www.eagle-gryphon.com/control/main

P.S. This give away is only open to U.S. listeners due to the high cost of overseas shipping. 

***DJ Grandpa's Crib is a labor of love. Neither DJG nor his staff received any sort of compensation for this promo.
