In 2005 he won the Individual World Poetry Slam Championship again and has gone on to share the stage with nearly every notable performance poet in the world in hundreds of venues internationally from The Fillmore in San Francisco and Scotland's Oran Moore to San Quentin State Penitentiary, House of Blues New Orleans and CBGB's.
