We headlined the gallery's monthly event: the Accident Slam. During the evening's readings, an artist makes a painting. The audience votes on the best open-mic poet from the opening set. The following week that poet is invited back to perform their winning poem and receives the painting as a prize. http://www.accidentgallery.com/

I bought drinks for all my friends there on behalf of all my friends who couldn't be, especially Vivienne in South Africa.
