Worcester Storytellers Friday Night

Worcester Storytellers meets on the second Friday of each month at the
Village Arts Gallery (1 Ekman Street, Worcester). The reading starts at 8:00
p.m. There will be an open mic followed *Eleanor Vincelette* will be the
feature. Worcester Storytellers never charges a cover. They ask you throw
some money into the basket to support the artists who feature. For more info
please contact Dave Macpherson <davemacp at aol.com>.

Coming up on Sunday, May 11th

This week at the Poets' Asylum we aren't really sure what we'll be doing.
Our scheduled feature had to bail due to unforeseen woes. We are putting our
noodles together to figure out a replacement. As soon as we do we'll get it
up on the big board (that would be here). Regardless we'll still have a
killer open mic so come on down to the The Q Cafe <http://theqma.com/> (362
Chandler Street, Worcester). The open mic sign-up list goes out around 7:00
p.m. and the reading starts closer to 7:30 p.m. No cover; please throw some
money in the bucket to support the reading.

May 4th Revisited

The house was packed for the *Spring Semi-Final Slam*. Bill MacMillan hosted
the evening with his usual gruff humor. Eight slammers took the stage in the
slam - Jon Wolf, Liz Heath, Nick Davis, Erin Jackson, Tak, Gary Hoare, Dave
Keali'i and Kate Richardson. After the smoke cleared and the math was
double-checked we found Nick, Erin, Gary and Dave had earned to top four
spots. They move on to the 2008 Worcester Slam Team Final on May 25th.
Thanks to all the competitors, judges and audience members for making this a
great night.
