The Review: Writers Block Dec' 09

On the 2nd of December Ms. Diaries (in the pouring rain) headed down to Writers Block for their Charity Fundraiser. The event started quickly and even though it was raining cats and dogs there was a decent turn out. What was so special about this particular show is that they were raising money for Boyhood to Manhood charity based in London. The night was full of good vibes all around with one guy (from the open mic section) playing the guitar with his teeth. One of the best poets of the night had to be one of the featured artists by the name Polar Bear. His lyrical talent was just amazing.

3 out 5 stars!
