spent the past couple days taking in poesy around the state---

---and i have to say: we are a bit spoiled here.

the amount of talent that comes out to our events to put themselves on display is entertaining but i don't think most people realize how much so until they go see other slams/poetry events.

not to put down other events, it's just that there is a lack of energy--- a lack of experience ---at so many other places.

tho, what astounds me most is how horrid every event in PDX has been. population density should breed more talent.

anyway---

all i'm saying is that the Bend slam is amazing by most measurements. thank you to the poets who make me look good because, somehow, the host always gets credit for the talent of others'... and, if you haven't been out to see us recently, there really is no excuse not to. even if you have to work wednesdays, there will always be links here to download the audio after each event.
