Hello Everyone!
Lisa, slammaster here, and sorry I haven't posted. Didn't realize just how busy my life can get=) Western went well. The team is good, we know all the rules and discussed some fundraising, and are all writing some wonderfull stuff. Also, last month we had another slam, the first at The Mug, former Wadi cafe, and the first with our new name, Southern Indiana Slam. Even with vacations, summer musical practice, and summer jobs, turnout was still great. It all started a bit late, but how else would it start on a nice lazy summer evening? We mixed things up, with our first (and maybe last?) audience slam. Teams of volunteers from the audience wrote improv short poems on subjects drawn. To say the least, it was very interesting =) Thanks to all the participants from all the teams for a fun night: Dusty, Emily aka Pete, Elliot, Sibo, John, Kara, Temme, Burkey, Taylor, and Jordan. You all were brave souls to sacarifice your writing to poetry. BUT IN NEW NEWS! THE NEXT SLAM! The next slam will be FRIDAY JULY 23RD @ THE MUG @ 8:30 PM!!! And guess what, it will be the debut of Southern Indiana Slam team that will be attending nationals in St. Louis come August. Also, stay posted for other possible teams and poets that will be featured that night too! So call all your friends, bring everyone you can, for an AMAZING night of poetry that will go down in the records book at The Mug. Lets fill the place up people! Hope to see you all there. And if you are interested in helping our team make it to nationals, please e-mail me at slamgirl1213@yahoo,com Thanks!
