Saturday night in D.C. on U street. I saw this poster and decided at that point that I wanted to attend.

I MUST get to Busboys and Poets! Everytime I read about it on your blog I want to go! Have you ever been to their poetry night?

Stephen A. Bess said...

Brea-
Yes, I'm sometimes creature of habit. This is why I can't do dirt. They'll find me too fast and lock me up. :)
I've been there on poetry night, but I've never participated in open mike. One day I will. :)
