Bouts, bouts, bouts.

Here's what will happen Tuesday:

Brink, 8: Cantab will win. Scott Woods will cry.
Bartell, 8: Charlotte will win. Maybe they'll do that cool group piece where they hold up Xs.
Comedy, 8: Whoever's funniest between Austin and Berkeley. Or, if people like crying, Fort Worth.
The Other Bartell, 8: Curse of the Columbus Black Pearl, starring Johnny Depp.
MMOC, 8: Chicago GM, though Paris will have berets.
Stage Door, 8: San Francisco wins. Or maybe Dallas does.
Brink, 10: Chicago MG.
Bartell, 10: Urbana.
Comedy Club, 10: Montevallo. (Law of Averages.)
The Other Bartell, 10: Louder Arts. (I know, what a stretch.)
MMOC, 10: Detroit. Or Atlanta.
Stage Door, 10: Denver-Nuba.

I shall take credit for inspiring any upsets tomorrow.

Losers ? How dare you !

Losers ?
Losers !?
Well, YES !
Technically only one team will be a winner at the end of the last rotation on Saturday night.
BUT,
(and thas a BIG but)
it's possible to be a winner through gettin your party on at Nat.s and a having mindblowing blast,
now how you do that is up to you, but it should be just as important as winning.
And don't forget all the great poetry to be seen and listened to and read and WRITTEN !
What startling and great new poems will be actually written at the Nat.s this year ?
The possibilities are limited only by the imagination and degree of sobriety...
But all that aside, yes most of you will lose the competition.
So happy hunting, slam freaks.
NEXT UP ...
My prelim picks for every single cotton pickin bout ~!

When It Comes Right Down To It, You're ALL Losers

Just kidding! Have a great 2008 National Poetry Slam!

(But most of you will be losers.)

(But it's all about the poetry.)
