“My guy is not into the poetry scene, but he hasn’t stopped talking about this night yet. In fact, he’s willing to drive the 4 hours from Tampa to do it again. Very entertaining from beginning to end.”
“I enjoyed myself, I know yall are new and it is affordable for the kids or family to be workers, but I think the environment & the language used by the M C, poetry & spoken word performers was inappropriate for adolense or children to partake. Some of them are running around & dancing on the floor with the adults. This is a grown folk atmosphere. Also I think the food could be better outside, but I only had chicken. I didn't hv the cattered food. Also event was 7-11, but it was ok for them to clear the plates off the table, but I think the chairs shouldn't hv been taken up at 10:20pm, when we was still trying to dance and enjoy ourselves. I still enjoy the show and I would attend again.”
