    I went to my first slam at World Cafe Live last Monday. I thought the stories would be good from watching archive videos on the site and on Youtube but I wasn’t sure at all what to expect considering the theme was “Funeral.” It turned out to be a nice mix of both comic and serious stories. Most all of them–ten stories–were good to excellent. The winner was very funny, although I thought a couple of other people could have won, too. But since it’s a friendly competition I guess that doesn’t matter either way a whole lot.

    I thought the event was well hosted. They keep the stories pretty much to the five minute time limit and things felt like they were moving along at a good pace. The food and beer were excellent. I had a fair amount of both. And the service could not have been better. Also the room is a great space: nice decor, lighting and seating. I recommend putting this event on your calendar for sooner rather than later.

    After reading my previous comment, I thought perhaps I should add that I am not in any way related to or friends with anyone at World Cafe Live or First Person Arts or WXPN. Also my servers name was Greta. I think she deserves to be singled out for such good service.

    Another fun night at the Slam. It was great getting up there even if this time things didn’t work out as I had planned. (Understatement.) Of course now I have a tale for my friends about how allergy medication may be hazardous to your train of thought, especially if you’re trying to tell a story in a public place.

    As always, recommend the Slams to anyone looking for a weekday night out. Also planning ahead for the Grand Slam in July. That is going to be good!

    I went to the July Grand Slam and it was great. Hilarious stories, stiff competition, and a great pre-party to boot. Volunteer staff was very helpful and friendly, and I left feeling very pleased with the experience and with the knowledge that First Person had just acquired a new fan (me).
