Thank you for posting this. I was there and I totally agree with everything that was said, especially, "You didn't miss a slam, but you missed a hell of a show."
The slam competition was PHENOMINAL!!! I would have to agree and say it was definitely heaven on Earth! I had to sneak in to get in...because they CLAIMED they were full to capacity (even though they weren't)...but it was MORE than worth it!!! Hope its on the East Coast again next year!
you just wait && see lol...Urban Word gave me the [Boot]:I can only imagine being in that atmosphere full of poets and people that love poetry...people that walk around reciting poems,wrapping,playing guitars "I dont even know your name'clap'clap" lol
Raf, Dahlak, Dru Skittles, Haze, James, Bamu, George, JT aka Substance...CA stand up!
