Providence Poetry Slam Jared Paul arrested at the Republican National Convention
Posted by John on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 (09:30:00)

As you may already know, I was arrested at the Republican National Convention last month. A few friends and I were in a park listening to the Take Back Labor Day concert in St. Paul when several hundred heavily armed police blocked off the street, surrounded the park, and detained everyone inside. I was charged with "Felony Riot" and taken to Ramsey County Jail, where I would stay for the next 3 days. During that time I was twice forced to strip naked before an armed guard, refused medical attention, physically threatened by correctional officers, and held on 23 hour a day cell confinement.

Providence Poetry Slam RI - PROV SLAM SINGER/SONGWRITER open mic TONIGHT, 5/22!!
Posted by John on Thursday, May 22, 2008 (17:23:40)

But that's alright!! You can vent your frustration and pent-up energy at the PROVIDENCE SLAM SINGER-SONGWRITER OPEN MIC at AS220!!

Imagine, if you will: an open mic where the audience is there to listen to ( and not speak over ) the musicians; where original, independent art is encouraged; and where all types of performers ( not just musicians ) are welcome! 'Sounds nice, doesn't it?

Then, come to AS220 TONIGHT! Come be a part of YOUR arts community
and share your creativity with us!!
