A great slam, great work, tight scores from the get go.

I placed 7th overall out of 8.

No excuses. I read well, did the work I wanted to do, and at least one of the poems was the best I’ve ever done it. I also did one piece I never slammed with, ever, at all.

Onward. Tomorrow night I’m reading in Syracuse, NY and then I’ve got other shows coming up in the near future. It’s not like who I am poetically is tied to the slam; it hasn’t been for years. I was a poet and a performer before slam existed, and I will be that forever.

But it does sting a bit tonight. So I’ll say so and let it go; and tomorrow is another day.
