October 21st Revisited

This week the Asylum welcomed J*me back to our stage. He was full of vigor,
with energetic performances and banter. His set was a mix of persona pieces,
political work and his "favorite poem ever". A cover of a Marty McConnell
was thrown in for the sake of beauty. The audience stayed with the sometimes
heavy material 'til the end with loud applause the reward to this poets hard
labor. Thanks for joining us J*me.
