Bismarck's first poetry slam

Last night we hosted Bismarck's first poetry slam, which was an absolute success! I would say there was about twenty plus people that came out, of that number, 95% of them were high school kids, including all seven who competed, and all of them were amazing writers. Most if not everyone there loved it and are very excited to have their next slam, I have a good feeling that this will sweep over Bismarck, and in the next few years they will be sending teams to nationals.
Also, our feature last night went incredibly well. We made something like 75 bucks, had an awesome feedback from the crowd, and were very well recieved. The owner of Project Noise, Matt, walked around for us before the show and asked for donations without us even asking him to do so, which was so so cool of him. He is also hooking us up with another gig there on Friday with some hip hop groups, so all in all we will have done three shows in Bismarck, have had a great time and met a ton of amazing people!

I feel like a broken record, son, by telling you over and over that I'm so proud of you. But, hey, nothing wrong with a little broken record once in a while, right? I love you, Dad.
