July 29th Revisited

Many thanks to the *2007 Cantab Slam Team* for coming out to Worcester and
sharing their art, energy and powerful words. Simone Beaubien, Shira
Erlichman, Brian S. Ellis, and Jme clicked with the audience immediately.
Their poetry and performance show them to be amazing artists who won cheers,
applause and chapbook sales from the Asylum audience. Good luck to all of
you in Austin.

Spiel. In addition to light blue we now have a bright orange shirt available
with the same logo. The shirts are available at the Sunday night reading for
$10 each.

Gill if you are interested in purchasing one of these fine shirts. We thank
you for your continued support.

July 22nd Revisited

The open mic was happening last night with some new voices reading for the
first time, a couple of missing for too long poets returning to visit and
Ms. Hailey Jones bidding us farewell before she heads off to the midwest for
school. Our feature, Maze Forever, ran into mad traffic and had to cancel.
He's appearing at the Cantab on Wednesday and in Providence on Thursday if
you want to catch him.
