Lit related outings

Hey guys!

It turns out Brett (hope I'm using the right name!) was right about the poetry slam at Moonlight. It is only twice a year. I went to their website but it gave no useful information, so maybe we can give them a call if that is something we want to do. Since it is only March I doubt we have missed both of the meetings, so it might be worth checking out. In any case, I found some other events around the county which might be of interest. And yes, they are all from The Union Tribune. :)
