Spent yesterday rehearsing with Faro, finally seeing some of “The Return of the King” (not bad), replacing my cranky printer, and judging at the Worcester semi-finals.
I’ll leave comments on my judging to others, other than to say that people should realize by now how many slams I’ve seen, how many slams I’ve judged, how many I’ve emceed, and how many I’ve competed in. I’ve probably seen every great slam poet in the world by now, and I keep up as new ones arrive and old ones evolve. That should tell you something about what I bring to the table when I’m watching a slam, and some insight into how I judge them.
Tomorrow is the show at the Bowery Poetry Club…
Duende will be at the BPC, 308 The Bowery, NYC, to do the full “Americanized” suite. Doors at 7:30, tix are 7 dollars at the door. We’ll be recording live. It’ll be cool, and you should be there if you can.
Seacrest out. Me, I’ll probably be around later.
