BIG UPS: CP's own Andrew Thompson gets robbed, lives to StorySlam about it

Many of you know Andrew Thompson for his hard-hitting City Paper news reportage on guns, cops and more cops — but did you know he's also adept at spinning a delightful yarn? Us neither — but AT proved us all wrong last night at one of First Person Arts' twice-monthly StorySlams. On the topic of "A Date to Remember," Andrew told a tale of getting robbed in Philadelphia — which he insists is a rite of passage — and won first place for the evening, which means he gets to go on to participate in November's Grand Slam. Check out the vid below — the visual quality's not great, but the audio's all there, so pretend he's on WHYY and enjoy.
