I received your response to my request for information on how to audition for HBO Def Poetry on Monday, July 25, 2005. However, it was accidently deleted. I would greatly appreciate it if you could send that information to me again. I will make sure it does NOT get deleted again. I have a new laptop and the pad is very sensative to touch, I'm still getting use to it and trying to remember to touch it "lightly" Thank you so much for your consideration.
