1. It’s a lot of fun seeing everyone again.
2. Nick Fox may be my arch piratical nemesis, but he’s a rockin’ good poet.
3. I entered and won the first slam I’ve been in since 2001: the MC slam against Bob Whoopiecat, Michael Guinn, and Nick Fox. It didn’t feel remotely terrible. At all. Like…maybe I could do it again.
4. MCing three bouts in one day is a bitch.
5. My niece judged a slam tonight! She’d never been to one before; she loved it!!! I’m so psyched!
6. Because of rankings, etc, it wouldn’t be of value to talk of standings just yet. Lots of movement between rounds 1 and 2 in each bout, from what I could see; being ranked 1 in the 4 minute round had absolutely no predictive quality regarding where you’d place in the 1 minute round. So, hard to sort out what it means just yet.
7. Hearing good poetry? Yes. Reductive and unoriginal stuff too? Sure.
8. There’s a poet here named David Morgan from London, England, who will likely not be going to finals…but the dude is a fucking wizard writer of torturous genius. Shit the judges won’t love, but I personally thought was outrageous. Pretty good delivery, too. Older guy; very gentlemanly.
9. I hung out with too many people to name: it was good to see you again.
I’m off to bed, then to work, then to school, then to school again, then to Finals, then to school, then to work…
I wish I was a poet, or something. The work’s dull but the hours are more regular.
I leave you with this:

Tony is one of the bestest hosts EVER! I first met him when he hosted the semifinals bout I was in at Providence, and I was eternally impressed. Only host I’ve ever seen who immediately after the bout checked in with all of the teams to make sure that everyone was okay with how everyone went.

i had planned to head up that way with the acentos crew but life and work got in the way.
my consolation is that “work” consists of an hourlong poetry workshop on saturday afternoon for aspira of ny’s city youth conference. The crew and I teaching poetry to teenagers from all around the city. Yay.
