"Mighty" Mike McGee's Electronic Place of Himself.
Typings of a well-traveled, talky, funny, hobo-poet.
Heading home now from Manchester, New Hampshire with Aisha Hiba Naseem and our valiant driver Bill MacMillan. The poetry slam final was a lot of fun. I thoroughly enjoyed playing emcee for my first time ever in NH.
Your 2010 New Hampshire Slam Team is:
Wil Gibson
McKendy
Beau Williams
Roller Girl
Jeff Stumpo
Alternate: Krista Mosca
There are rumors this line-up may change due to some players also contending in other poetry slam finals, but this is the high-to-low of tonight’s results in ManchVegas.
I started of the night by dusting off Jimmy Awesome and busting out with a bit of the lip-sync/puppeteering.
Also the judges — four of whom had never attended a slam prior to tonight — scored the poets between 19.6 (lowest) to 26.7 (highest!)
I was thoroughly impressed. No matter how hard the audience booed a 6.2, that same judge held their ground. I was proud.
Artie Moffa was my score keeper. A good man to have as a bout manager.
Slammaster Mark Palos has a great scene in NH. I always have a good time at his venues. If you’re heading through New England, keep Manchester on your radar. I think this team could make a good showing at NPS this year.
Tonight was good times. Good times, indeed.
