Mental Graffiti Chicago 2008: "We're From the Midwest"

[WhatE7263]

That was a great performance and I get the city pride and all, but what have they got against Albuquerque? I mean, wrap your heart in barbed wire and set it on fire? We ain't all that bad down in Burque.

@WhatE7263 Thanks for watching. We actually have a big soft spot for Albuquerque. The National Poetry Slam was held there in 2005. The logo for the Albuquerque slam is a heart wrapped in barbed wire. The line is an homage. You can check out the logo for yourself on the Albuquerque slam website.

@pifone Okay...I apologize. That's just my lack of knowledge speaking there. Sorry guys. But your video was awesome, by the way!
