Below is a picture of Dr. Michael Anthony Ingram performing at the open mic at Philly Steak and Cheese.  I am not sure whether he is performing "Billie in the Morning" or his new poem about James Brown.  The venue has an odd set up.  The room was fairly crowded behind the newspapers on the counter.

  

Finally, we have Jazz...is Local for all the DC-area...or DMV poets.
