It's been awhile!
April 29th is the Southwest Shoot-out - top four poets from the shoot-out are in the nationals competition in Boston, in August.
Getting to the shoot-out meant either taking one of the top two spots in a qualifying slam - there were three, January, February, and March - or having a high enough cumulative point total from those slams that you rank in the top 10 (which automatically includes winners from those slams).
I was sick in January. February, I took first. After a bull session with friends at BFG, the best advice came from t-hawk: "Come out strong, show 'em a sensitive side in the middle to show your range, and then shove it down their fucking throats."
Sound advice.
I slammed "Amazing at football," toned it back with "irrational numbers," and finished with tears, screaming, losing my hat, and "countdown."
Hehehehe.
