RETRO, open mic night was pretty tight. It was at the ethnic cultural center the EEC on the south side of campus. I and four other brothers attended to support one of our newest brothers, Ryan Trinidad. The event last about two hours and was composed of a medley of spoken word poetry, live musical performances, beat boxing, and a group known as "Swag Crew" who performed a series of party dances to a song not appropriate for this blog. Ryan's performance was towards the end of the event. He and his friend Drey wrote a comedic poem defining and elaborating on several slang terms and colloquials associated with their home city, Tacoma. Needless to say, they were hilarious. For me, RETRO was a unique experience. I'd loved the energy in the venue and the sense of community and fellowship that embodied the event as a whole. I saw a lot of the comradery on that stage that I see everyday in the house. I felt like I knew the EEC and the people there very well. They reminded me how lucky we are to all be brothers.
