reflections on december "slam"

So, we didn't have quite the turnout for a slam in December as we'd hoped. This is understandable, since students are on break and such, but Colin hosted an open mic, which I think went stupendously. It was totally rad, with some awesome poetry, and I think some people shared who normally wouldn't have. It was a great night overall, and I'll admit it, I'm a bit tipsy (tipsier than I should be for driving to my office to blog right now!).

Just FYI, yes, the slam is moving to the Third Wednesday of the Month! Check out the sidebar for dates and such!

See y'all for the fourth slam (since this one didn't actually count, I guess) in January. It'll be semi-finals for the finals in March. Nine slots are filled from the September and October slams (if they all show). The other slots (up to 12 total slammers) will be filled in by sign-up that night (first come, first serve). Those who are definitely slamming in January include:

1. Brian D
2. Sam R
3. Lisa T
4. Marietta
5. Eric N.
6. Hub
7. Ed
8. Three
9. Ajai

Of course, if some of thoe don't show, their slots go to people who sign up.

Those who have definite slots in February:

1. Brian D.
2. Eric
3. Mike P
4. Hubb
5. Jerry

And then filling in for slots up to 12, of course.

Top five from January and top five from February (excluding duplicates) will slam in March to make the Corvallis team! Bitchin!!!!

So, sorry tonight wasn't a real slam, but I think Colin did an excellent job of hosting an open mic, and yes, Keith, I am blogging about the slam not the day before! Yay!
