on Sunday, November 8th for our regular poetry open
mic followed by a feature by <b>Rob Sturma</b>. Sturma has performed
for a number of years under the monicker Ratpack Slim, and during those
years, he was on the Los Feliz Slam Team two years running (2003-2004),
made it to the finals stage with Team Hollywood in 2005, and as
slammaster of Western Regional slam team Gang Green, took three teams
to Big Sur, rocking nationally ranked teams outta their seats. He was
the host of the seminal Los Angeles open mic Green from 2003-2007.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">November 1st Revisited</font></h3></center>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ah Jack, we've missed you. After a packed open mic <b>Jack
McCarthy</b> took to the mic as our feature. His set contained a mix of
well loved pieces and rarely read work. Mixed among them were secrets of
high school popularity, calendar savants, Tennesse Williams & Mother Theresa,
and the missing response from Odysseus. Great stuff through and through.
Thanks for the words Jack.</font></p>
