Oops I did it again...

Mia by Gorki, or by Milow, or by me, whichever: it's gonna be a hit in America. Or at least in Chicago. Or definitely in the Green Mill. Hell, it already is!

Last Saturday two of my friends from Belgium, Monika and Joris, voluntarily underwent the nine-hour flight from Brussels to O'Hare, Chicago, just to visit me for a week - and in the meanwhile have a look at my new hometown, since they're here anyway. So what better place to take them to than the Green Mill? With Mark Smith - so what! -, the legend that became a man, as host and a - not so cramped - vintage Jazz bar as setting, our Superbowl Sunday couldn't possibly need anything else. (Before anyone starts freaking out: there was a small tv-screen near the entrance showing America's favorite game). Anti-Superbowl Poetry Slam, here we go!

Apparently they like Belgians there, because our kind was endowed with the honorable duty of judging the poems, again. Apparently they love Belgians there, because Mark Smith called me onto the stage, again. To sing "Mia", both in Dutch and in English, again. And they recorded it (together with the rest of the evening, but still...)! Little girls leave their marks, and they leave them good. :-)

We even made it to the newspaper! The Chicago Tribune of Monday February 4, 2008 contains a picture of the Poetry Slam at the Green Mill and we're on it. Well, at least you can almost distinguish our good looks in the black silhouettes if you look very closely. And no, we're not obsessed by the media. Where are those paparazzi when you need them? ;-)
