That slamming might slip into flyting and replace weaponry (WMI: Words of Mass Instruction) in international conflicts: comforting to contemplate but too much to expect.
For slam-off round 1, media in the house: tv and newspaper crews all over the place. A 3 way tie between Damien Flores, Christian Drake and Hakim Bellamy. Each went up with one more poem and still the scores were so close it was crazy. Needless to say ALL of the poets were bringing the heat last night, but ultimately a decision had to be made.
That decision - take six poets on to finals, so....the poets going on to the finals night from Round 1 are:
Carlos Contreras
Jessica Lopez
Manuel Gonzalez
Christian Drake
Damien Flores
Hakim Bellamy
