September 30th Revisited

If you missed the Asylum this week you missed the amazingly funny *Kyria
Abrahams*. She read excerpts from her upcoming book "I'm Perfect, You're
Doomed", a comedic memoir involving Jehovah's Witnesses, slam poetry, OCD
and the fiery destruction of the wicked at Armageddon. With a fine wit she
offered the audience a glimpse of her childhood, from the joys of public
speaking at 8 to laughtastic tale of carnal bean bagging. Yes friends this
was a great feature. Thanks Kyria for the words and laughter.
