Amaryllis emceed the slam and open mic. She is fantastic.
Michelle did the slam calibration poem. It was phat. The slammers were Paige,
Livers, Lauren, Dario and others (soon to be listed).
Dario won the $29, which he donated to the team for the trip. Lauren came in
second. They will both be on the team representing Ithaca in
Ann Arbor in April.
The open mic poets included Lenelle, Arthur,
Amaryllis, Michelle and others (soon to be listed).
The audience was very nice. $58 was donated. This went 1/2 to the slam
winner, and 1/2 to the fund to send the people to the National Youth
Poetry Slam Festival.
Some of my friends came, including Luna, Vanessa, Tim, Dan, Robert, John, and my already mentioned poet friends.
