I Guess if I Called Out Jane's College Poetry ...

I better "call out" myself too. Last night I took part in the inaugural WD Poetry Slam and, while I've never done one before, it was AWESOME! I didn't completely embarrass myself (no one threw anything), but I'm certainly a novice (what is up with my hand waving so much!?). And while I thought it would only be available to a few dozen people, a person out to get me friend (The Writer Mama herself) posted it for all the world to see.

So, without further ado, here's my embarrassing attempt at being a slam poet. (If you comment, please be kind. :-)

Poetry Slam: Recap

Guy Gonzalez hosted a very successful and fun 1st ever Writer's Digest poetry slam at the Bowery Poetry Club. There were pirate poems, poems about dads with minivans, and more. Oh yeah, and there was a bar, which is probably why I'm having trouble remembering even more details.

It was pretty laid back and filled with encouragement. I'll try to get the winners listed soon.
