Drunken Gypsy Writer's Throwdown Pt. 2

I warned you it was-a-cummin' and folks here it is!

The first Throwdown was Epic and I didn't think it could be topped but this month it has been. All of your favorite participants were in attendance and a few new faces were thrown into the mix for a gathering of differing but like minds, folks you miss and friends you love, birthday revelry, cream-sicle drinks and whiskey shots. Our producer the Rev. Laz turned 29 this week and his brother Crenshaw turns 20-something in only a few short days. In honor of them both we gathered, drank it up and threw the fuck down in the home of our always gracious hosts.

While many parties are thrown and had on this beloved property, this time it was reserved for the Drunken Gypsy Writers Throwdown. For those of you that don't know. The Drunken Gypsy Writers are a cadre of intellectual wanderers, literary revolutionaries, passionate pwon-ing pundits and devoted souls. As often as we are able we gather and challenge one another to present something spectacular, in twenty minutes, while wasted. The rules are simple. Get drunk, accept your prompt what ever it may be, and write for the cameras and one another. The final rule ... if it doesn't wind up in the video you can't share it. I will tell you this, at risk of being reprimanded, that some of our debauchery led to revelations and expansions of consciousness, friendships forged and fortified, bruised bottoms and borderline breakdowns, understandings reached and social walls breached. That's really why we gather folks. We gather for the comradeship. We gather for the inspiration. We gather for the  passion and the pleasure of each others company but in the end, one and all, we gather for the love.

Rev. Russ said it best, but he says it at the end of the video so I'll let you hear it from him. Watch and learn. Watch and be inspired. But most of all watch and be inspired to gather for the love.


My Prompt: Star Wars

We live in the Dark
We live on the Dark
From us rises pure power
Through us achieve greatness
Only if you have the
Desire ...
We live in the Light
we grow from the Light
From us rises pure understanding
Through us achieve greatness
only if you have the
Love ...
Balance
There must be balance in the force
Domination
There must be an overwhelming power over all men,
Over all races
Even if eliminating all culture
all freedom
all understanding be the cost
Our arms sweep the known universes into our overwhelming embrace ...
Our arms sweep the known universes into our overwhelming love
Join us
Follow us
We are the Sith
We are the Jedi
We are both the force
Two sides of the same face
Part and parcel of one another, at odds and at ends ...
We are the people
Pushed and pulled and goaded and threatened and FORCED
No matter what our choices,
Into choosing sides or being destroyed
Or occupied, or left with nothing but
WAR and DEATH and FEAR
Where is our release
Join us
Follow us
Those are the choices we are given
Join us or die
Follow us or die
The force doesn't care
Only we care, the multitude who suffer because of your war in the stars
Your Star Wars

The Drunken Gypsy Writers Throwdown Pt. 1

Okay this is a bit late but I have to go ahead and post his now because there is a part 2 coming soon. allow me if you will to give you a bit of back story.

I met these fine folks many years ago at a Vampire the Masquerade LARP group in Stephenville. As it turns out they have become some of the best friends I've ever had. Through many ups and downs they have always been there for me without fail. Recently some of us got together and formed the Drunken Gypsy Writers group. Thanks to Derick Davis and the Reverend Russel Davis the group has flourished and grown to include many of the best people we know. Insightful and passionate they have much wisdom to share. We decided that at least once a month we would all come together and throw down. The rules are simple. You drink and then you receive a prompt. 15 or 20 minutes later, depending on who is holding the clock, you are required to present a piece for us all. It is fun but it is also a labor of love. We all have thoughts and words and meaning trapped inside of us and this is designed to release that into the world for us all to contemplate. Everyone involved is talented, deep, passionate and often profound. Some of us are way too drunk but still capable. Not one of us are sober. Like Bukowski we relvel and descend and love and dig and sometimes hate you all but we do this for us, we do this for you. We do this for love and the love of life. Afterwards we geek-out, we DnD, we dance and sing and drum and sleep under the stars. We are the Drunken Gypsy Writers and this was our first Throwdown!
