So, slam kids,
It's been a long time. With winter break and Iovino's moving, we haven't had an event in a few months. But it's time to start back up again!
Iovino's is now located in the new condo building (I'm not sure of the exact address) on 1st street downtown, just a few blocks south of its old location.
Our next slam is going to be Wednesday, February 21 - as usual, sign up will start at about 9:00, with the slam beginning a little after 9:30.
And this month, we've got feature poet
Billy Tuggle!
