Slamiversary Showcase: Celebrating 5 Years of A2Poetry

Just got invited to read this Sunday, October 21, 7pm, at Espresso Royale on State Street in Ann Arbor!

Also found out that Ann Arbor Poetry Slam is the second oldest poetry slam in the country (after Chicago), established in 1987, even though they don't shout any more.

Hope to see you there!
