Dawn Gabriel (mom_star) was great at the Hut tonight…on a night which I thought was over all pretty staid and frankly, a bit lackluster. Only a handful of poems struck me as remotely interesting.

News about the 3×5 bout structure at the NPS this year makes me VERY glad I’m done. Can’t imagine how this will play out; shocked that they didn’t wait a year to implement it, what with everyone’s slams being structured to pick a four person team and almost all the slam season done. But, hey…who cares, right? The more teams, the merrier. Of course, we’ll see if that holds true as rumors seem to be predicting more than a few teams will be not going to St. Louis.

The fact that the quality of the poetry has been declining for years is all beside the point, I guess.

Which leads me to another point: as of midnight, my PSI membership expired, and for the first time in years, I’m not renewing it.

Kiss today goodbye…
