George Vlastos

George_Vlastos@ncsd.k12.wy.us

George has been a poetry-pusher for nearly two decades, finding the 'spoken word' to be as vital to his daily living as meals, mountainsides, making-up to his wife, and moderating the emotional moguls of their boys. His emcee credentials stretch as far as the island of Crete where he helped highland shepherds learn then perform in an impromptu gangsta-rap competition (the winner was chosen according to who aroused the most sheep bleatings) to inciting a packed room of Cheyenne's so-called troubled youth to calmly chant the entirety of Walt Whitman's "Song of the Open Road". George will emcee the poetry slam at the Metro Coffee Company, 241 South David in downtown Casper, after 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 24.
