Blog Posted:4/6/2011 5:22:00 AM
Just a quick msg to all who participated: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Deciding who will be placed in this contest was a bit more difficult this time around, solely because of the quality of poems I received.

Be sure you all show the respect to those who placed in their respective spots of this contest.

I was truly blown away.

I will be posting details for the next contest later this week.

Oh and thank you to all who came by my show last night and participated! That meant a lot to me. It really did...

-Drake

Drake-great winner's circle for your contest. You are still gonna hang "I Adore You, Lil Bean" beside your coffee pot, tho', right? LOL. I caught the last 15 minutes of the show last night and that lady who read her poem was amazing-full of energy! will be returning again soon! Keep up the great work. Gwendolen
