Hmm, too many depressing posts on one page! Time to liven it up a bit! Tonight saw the kick off of the National Poetry Slam here in Albuquerque. I attended this kickin’ party at the National Hispanic Cultural Center and found myself awash in beautiful creative types. The wonderful thing about a throng of poets is the atmosphere of camaraderie, total strangers carrying on like lifelong friends. I’m sure the free drinks helped things along quite a bit.
Carlos talked me into buying a Slam t-shirt, which I proudly wore the rest of the night. This one has the proper web address on it: www.abqslams.org. Danny forgot to renew the old address and now it leads to a page on penile enhancement. “A marketing ploy,” Don explains.
Anyhow, I’ve set aside the next few days to devote my attention to all the slam activities going on around town. And I’ll be up late updating the web site with the latest scores. Go team ABQ!
