Many friends and poetry supporters came to Juna's on Friday, April 4, 2003. Mina collected donations. Our emcee was Magdala. Jeni Wightman was the slammaster. Liz was there with Marya.

We had an open mic. Ben Shumway, Karen Hanson, Maria Cataldo, and Jeni read.

Because of the ice storm, the feature did not show.

The slam only had 4 contestants because of the weather, so the audience voted on whether or not we would score... they voted no scoring... so Jason Lee, Brandon, Ben Porter Lewis, and Patrick did 3 rounds unscored. They are all qualified for finals.

I was in Pittsburgh at an Amnesty International meeting.
