<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well that was fun!!! The 2008 <b>Worcester Slam Team Finals
</b> were held tonight. A packed house witnessed a kickin' open mic followed
by 8 of the area's best performance poets. If you were there you know who won.
If you weren't you missed laughter, open emotion, blazing acts of poetry and
the best the performers had to give. Thanks to Adam Stone, Bobby Gibbs, Dave
Keali'i, Erin Jackson, Gary Hoare, Nick Davis, Ryk McIntyre and Trevor
Byrne-Smith for their amazing efforts tonight. Thanks also to the judges,
Kate (our sacrifice poet), hosts Bill MacMillan and Liz O, and the audience, we
couldn't do this thing without you.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">So who
