February 3rd Revisited

The Asylum this week had a quietish start with a fun open mic. A couple of
new voices took to the stage (welcome) and a couple of old faces found their
way to The Q for the first time (good to see you). Following the open Mr. *the
Klute* took the stage and kicked the energy level up a few hundred percent.
At times wheezingly funny, and then the next moment starkly serious, he
shared his well crafted work. After the obligatory "signature" slam piece
our black trenchcoat wearing feature sweated his way through poems about
love, racism, fear and the power of the color black. A powerful start to
kick-off his 7 feature/9 day mini-tour. Thanks Klute, glad to have you share
our stage.
