March 2 Revisited

This week we held an *open qualifying slam* for the 2008 Worcester Slam
team. Thanks to Greg, Tak, Mareh, Erin and Logan for competing and to our
brave judges for their hard work. Congratulations go to *Erin Jackson* and *
Tak* for winning the top two spots. They move on to the Spring Semi-finals
which will take place on May 4th.

24 hour Poetry Feature

*Bill MacMillan* will undertake a 24-hour poetry feature starting Saturday,
April 5th at 8:00 p.m. Bill will read poetry, his own work and covers, over
the following 24 hours, wrapping up as the weekly Asylum open reading gets
underway. The Q Cafe <http://theqma.com/> has generously agreed to stay open
all night long so that Bill may undertake this endeavour.

Bill is taking part in a coordinated national
movement<http://www.wideopenwest.com/%7Eefavers0976/24n_front.htm>to
have 24-hour readings across the country happening at the same time.
The
Poets' Asylum will be using this as a fundraising opportunity. More details
on this over the next couple of weeks.

Make plans to come down for an hour or two and keep Bill company as he makes
his way through 24 hours of poetry.
