Wednesday Night Results!

Thanks again to everyone who came out to the slam last night, and also very much thanks to our awesome feature Eric Darby, who was, well, awesome. The winners from last night were everyone (I'm such a hippy), but the one who took home prizes were:

1. Dekk (Naked Santa)
2. Dialek (Toad the Wet Sproket CD)
3. Lloyd (some old ass 80's cassette)

so congrats to them! I guess next month's feature will be our very own Slam Team, so stay up and look for announcements about that. Thanks to everyone again for making our simple little slam at Iovino's one of the coolest things happening in this town.

Peace, Pints, and Poetry!
