- World Refugee Day bio: That Wah updated
Last Wednesday I went to a great hip hop concert at The Intersection (133 Grandville SW). The Show featured two headline acts 88Keys and the Kidz in the Hall. Before the Headline act was a group that has been previously featured in the Rapidian called Flying Without Wingz.
I talked to the two members of the group Carrisa "Irawniq" Anderson and Vernon "V.C." Carter.
"Wednesday, March 10th was a phenomenal experience. To grace the same stage as the very talented 88keys and Kidz in the Hall is something we as artists appreciate and embrace. This is the beginning of a very extensive journey and we expect many more great experiences to come," Anderson said.
"This was yet another great experience for us. Meeting new artists that are out there doing their thing is always great. Plus The Intersection is a rocking venue," Carter stated.
My name is Michael Tuffelmire. I was born and raised in downtown Grand Rapids, attending school in the Heartside neighborhood. I am 29 years old, and have a two year old son named Michael Scott. I served in the U.S. Army Infantry for six years, and was in two U.S. conflicts: Kosovo and Iraq. I have been to 27 different countries, and on nearly every continent of this planet. I am a community organizer and board member elect on the West Michigan Environmental Action Council (WMEAC) and a member of the executive board of the East Hills Council of Neighbors. I am currently a full-time Senior at Ferris State University with a minor in Accounting and major in Health Care Management. I start graduate school next summer. I have been writing for the Rapidian since its infancy in October, 2009, and recently received the 2010 Volunteer of the Year award from the Community Media Center for my writing – an honor for which I am extremely proud. My hobbies include bicycling, martial arts, boxing, reading, and enjoying the sights and sounds of the city.
