KBLX and Budweiser will present the largest and most anticipated poetry show in the Bay Area, starring Khoree the Poet and featuring Rick Alexander and Dre Rivers of Verbal Sax on Nov. 8 at The Historic Bal Theater in San Leandro, which seats 750 people.

Corey Page, more commonly known as Khoree the Poet, has been performing spoken word poetry since 2010. He says he started performing at the Air Lounge’s “Hot Water Cornbread” Open Mic and has since grown to share the stage with high profile artists as Gladys Knight, Faith Evans, and the O’ Jays.

Most recently, he was offered a walk-on role in Tyler Perry’s “Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned” at the Paramount Theatre.

“That was a surreal experience. It made me want to work harder than what I am doing now,” said Page, which is why he says his upcoming show is going to be “so much more than poetry show.”

Along with poets Joyce Lee, Candace Culpeper, 4 Family, and Audacious I Am, the show will also feature singers Niecey Robinson, Nicole Pearson (Buttah), and Chuck Lounge.

“It’s where poetry, jazz, and song mingle,” he added.

Tickets are $25 for general seating, and VIP tickets are $50. Khoree Private Circle tickets are $100 but offer another level of VIP seating, which also includes gift bags, autographed framed poem access to the after party, and private seating in the Budweiser Lounge.

Tickets can be purchased at www.KhoreeThePoetBalTheater.eventbrite.com. General Admission & After Party tickets can also be purchased at Imagine Affairs Art Lounge, 408 14^th St.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
