February 7th Revisited

As expected it was a pretty quiet night at the Poets' Asylum. No matter,
those who came out enjoyed a perky intimate open mic and then an *open slam*.
Danny Balel & Jackie Morrill went head-to-head for two rounds. It was a
tight competition with the scores all landing within 6/10ths of a point from
one another. At the end of the night *Jackie* edged out Danny by 3/10ths of
a point and went home with an extra $10 in her pocket.
