September 9th Revisited

Great night at the Asylum with packed house, an extra special open mic and
the poetic stylings of *Dawn Gabriel*. Dawn was a firecracker tonight with
one excellent poem after another. With a set that mixed well established and
newer work she captured the audience and drew them in with her words. Thanks
for sharing your poetry Dawn.

And the extra specialness of the open mic???? There was a little marriage
proposal at the close of the open - congrats to Logan & Kate!
