July 28: Team Send-Off and Poets Auction!!!
It's time once again to send the louderARTS team off to the National Poetry Slam in style, and to bid on fabulous things, some of which you knew you needed, and some of which you will only discover that night. Among the auctions to be auctioned off and/or raffled are: an iPod shuffle, loads of books, a wine tasting for you and 20 friends, chapbook design, a financial consultation for your nonprofit, exercise journals, a tarot reading, cooking lessons, web site design, and much much more -- see below for a more complete list. Bring your friends, bring your checkbook, bring your thirst for drinks and poetry because the drinks are 2-for-1 as always and the team will be bringing their best and brightest new work to share! And as always, get there early to sign up for the OPEN MIC!
