THANK YOU for your FameCast support!

August 25, 2007

During a remarkable FameCast experience, I was asked to perform at a remarkable Finals event in Austin, Texas! This was one of the finest moments in spoken-word history, and I remain honored to have performed with the likes of Anis Mojgani, Da Boogie Man, Ragan Fox, & Talaam Acey. WATCH THE LIVE FAMECAST SHOW HERE!

YOUR online votes made this happen. Thanks for all the kind support.

During my local performances to support the effort (including media appearances with KPHO TV, KKFR-KTAR-KPHX-KNAU radio, & print articles in The West Valley View, The Southwester, & Kudos magazine), many of you provided me with cash to donate to the violence shelter that serves the area where Odessa lived.

Last week, I delivered $5,445.00 to the De Colores shelter in Phoenix!

A special thanks to Arizona artist JOHN SODERBERG for his substantial donation. Also, thanks to JEFF FARIAS for the constant encouragement.

This was a wonderful example of ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things. Thanks for being an important part of that process!

CORBET DEAN to feature at MILL'S END in Tempe!

June 5, 2007

Come out and support downtown Tempe! According to the ASU Web Devil, Mill's End is "The Best Place for Slam Poetry!"

Regarding Mill's End, Arizona Stage writer Amanda Fruzynski said:

"Walking on Mill Avenue almost guarantees the chance of catching some sort of display of talent, but every last Friday of the month at 8 p.m., passers-by can hear an especially artistic one at the poetry slam outside the Mill's End Cafe. Poetry slams are spoken-word competitions where poets read their works to an audience that judges them. The Mill's End slam is one of the busiest slams in the Valley, and it's free, so it's a great place to stop on your Mill Avenue stroll. Plus, the cafe has amazing chai tea."

Come see a full Corbet Dean feature at Mill's End on Friday, June 15th! The cafe sets on the North "end" of Mill at 310 S. Mill Ave. Call 480-829-0755 for more information on this outstanding event!
