May 18th Revisited

It was a hot night at the Poets' Asylum this week with a packed open mic and
a killer feature by *Logan Phillips*. With a mix of well practiced work and
newer pieces he worked the mic and carried the audience with him. Moving
from heavier material to lighter fare and back with ease he kept those who
gathered to hear him waiting for the next sentence, the next phrase. His
tales of teaching English in Mexico were especially captivating. Thanks
Logan!

"The Weekend Starts Now"

"The Weekend Starts Now" is an e-mail newsletter focusing on arts and
entertainment events in the Worcester-area. Created by the
Telegram<http://www.telegram.com/>it will highlight a handful of
events, mostly things that are great but
might not otherwise get a great deal of attention, and provide links to The
Telegram's music, dining and film columns, as well as our calendar.
Obviously, it's going to grow and change as time goes on, but Asylum regular
(and TWSN editor) Victor Infante is pleased with it so far, and he really
thinks this is a chance to bring a focus to arts and entertainment events
that might otherwise slip through the cracks.
