Wow! Wow! A packed-to-the-rafters crowd came out last night to witness our second (and final) 4×4 team slam of the season; our home team trotted out a selection of pretty-new group pieces in the rollicking wake of work from Manchester’s Slam Free or Die, Northampton’s Pulp Slam, and the Mill City Slam from Lowell. Congrats to our home team for taking top honors, and huge ups to Mill City for making us hungry for sticky buns, to Pulp Slam for setting us firmly inside our bodies, and to Slam Free for asking us the most important lunchtime philosophical questions a five-person group piece with a three-person pyramid can.
Next week: Cantab short-timer and admitted heart-stealer Anna Binkovitz loops back around from her whirlwind move to New York City to give us a farewell feature. And, lucky you: if you like this slam thing, the sixth slam in our 8×8 series will be open to all at 11:00 p.m.
